Quizplus · Accepted Answer

President Roosevelt's first response to the war in Europe was not to extend lend-lease to the Allies; initially, he declared U.S. neutrality and worked to revise neutrality laws to allow "cash-and-carry" sales of arms to belligerent nations, a policy aimed at aiding the Allies while keeping the United States out of the conflict. The Lend-Lease Act was enacted later, in March 1941, to provide further support to the Allies.
