The 1957 Eisenhower doctrine promised armed backing against communist threat

Evidence

What Truman was now raising to the status of a doctrine was a continuation of the Western democracies’ policy following the Second World War: toleration and even support for authoritarian regimes as bastions against communism. The Salazar dictatorship in Portugal and the Franco dictatorship in Spain had never ceased to benefit from toleration and support of this sort. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 1667 (#complicates, via linked claim)
