Truthfully the American neutrality placated the American people who did not want to be in another foreign war. However, while being neutral Roosevelt created the Lend Lease Act to assist Britain and others with munitions, ships and planes. America also sent food and other needed items to England. Roosevelt wanted to fight against the monster Hitler, but the Americans did not fully understand the devastation of Hitler's oppression and the genocide of the Jews as President and Mrs. Roosevelt and other cabinet members did.
Neutrality and Isolationism were the American policies when World War I began. They kept the country out of the fighting, but it did not impede the sale of US goods to nations involved in the war.

neutrality acts
The United States never officially declared themselves neutral during the Second World War. Instead, they looked back the World War One to see what dragged them into that conflict. It was determined that trading with the warring nations at the time was what brought them into the war. To make sure that American soldiers were never again dragged into a European conflict they passed a series of laws known as the Neutrality Acts. The first Neutrality Act, stating that the United States could not trade arms and other war materials to any party participating in a war, was passed in 1935. So, in essence, this would be the first year the United States declared their neutrality. The United States passed more Neutrality Acts in 1936, 1937, and 1939. So, you could debate that the US declared their neutrality four times prior to their entering of the Second World War.
