Latin America
After Hoover’s election he took a “goodwill” tour to Latin America. Hoover chose to follow suit with the policies of Coolidge in the Latin American regions after re-evaluating economic relations. This had an overall good effect, but that good effect was decreased due to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930 that put up resistance to foreign trade.
Europe
Europe was unable to pay back war debts to America as they we’re suffering from the worldwide depression. They blamed the worldwide depression on America’s tariff against foreign goods.
International Disarmament
Hoover consistently pushed for international disarmament. He was a part of multiple conferences like The London Naval Disarmament Conference of 1930 and Geneva World Disarmament Conference of 1932 that helped keep the balance of arms in the Pacific under control. These both helped postpone the arms race but neither was able to stop Japan's invasion of Manchuria in September 1931.
