Detailed explanation-1: -Following two months of debate, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, meeting Great Britain’s deep need for supplies and allowing the United States to prepare for war while remaining officially neutral.
Detailed explanation-2: -The “cash and carry” legislation enacted in 1939 effectively ended the arms embargo that had been in place since the Neutrality Act of 1936, and paved the way for Roosevelt’s Lend-Lease program.
Detailed explanation-3: -The lend-lease program provided for military aid to any country whose defense was vital to the security of the United States. The plan thus gave Roosevelt the power to lend arms to Britain with the understanding that, after the war, America would be paid back in kind.
Detailed explanation-4: -By the end of June 1944 the United States had sent to the Soviets under lend-lease more than 11, 000 planes; over 6, 000 tanks and tank destroyers; and 300, 000 trucks and other military vehicles.
