The Axis was composed of Germany, Italy, and Japan. FDR could not legally enter the war until the enemy country declared war on us. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, that was clearly a declaration of war by action, so FDR responded by declaring war on Japan verbally. Hitler then made the mistake of declaring war on the US verbally, so FDR responded by declaring war on Germany verbally. Mussolini also made the same mistake as Hitler, with the same result on Italy. Had Hitler and/or Mussolini not declared war on the US first, FDR could not have declared war on them and we could not have fought them.

AnswerThe USA had already given a huge amount of aid to the British and Soviet Union and was openly hostile to the ambitions of Germany. On an ideological level America was viewed as an inferior, racially mixed nation.Germany and Italy had signed a pact with Japan agreeing to cooperate in establishing a new order with Germany and Italy controlling Europe and Japan controlling East Asia.The pact also guaranteed support if any country attacked one of the Axis powers, technically once the USA had responded to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour by declaring war on Japan, Germany was bound to offer support to Japan.
