fuera desestimada
Conforme a la visión de Roosevelt, las condiciones “evolutivas” llevaban a que la relación entre Estados Unidos y Argentina fuera, por sobre todo, de cooperación y que, por lo tanto, todo tipo de intervención directa fuera desestimada.
I don't understand how the final 'fuera' works. Is this subjunctive? How should it be translated?
Any help would be appreciated!

Depending on how strongly you wish to put this,"frowned upon" is just one possible alternative to several other feasible suggestions already made (rejected, ruled out, not considered) There's also: shunned, repudiated...
But I guess it was the "fuera" that was really puzzling you
