The U.S. supported anti-communist forces in various regions, including Latin America, making the statement false. This involvement spanned conflicts in Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Thus, the U.S.'s anti-communist efforts were not limited to Asia and the Middle East. ;

The statement is false; the U.S. supported anti-communist forces in both Asia and Latin America. Significant involvement included military aid in Vietnam, support for mujahideen in Afghanistan, and backing the Contras in Nicaragua. Therefore, U.S. anti-communist efforts were present in multiple global regions, including those nearby like Latin America.
