What was the eisenhower doctrine, and how did it affect the cia?

Good Morning!

The Eisenhower Doctrine was a policy created by President Dwight David Eisenhower, determining the American willingness to interfere in the conflicts and economies of the Middle East. The idea was to protect these territories from the communist threat, keeping American and capitalist influence alive in the region.

The CIA, as the leading US intelligence agency, has focused its efforts on preventing the Communist threat and investigating interests in the Middle East.

Hugs!
