Are there any notable examples of the U.S. working with a left-leaning government instead of overthrowing and replacing them with a right-leaning one during the Cold War?

  • There are plenty of historical examples of the U.S. overthrowing and replacing left-leaning governments with right-leaning ones, and I am wondering if there are any significant examples of the U.S. choosing to work with left-leaning governments instead of overthrowing them.
  • If there are, why did the U.S. choose to work with them instead of overthrowing them?
