What sort of aid did the United States provide the Allies in 1940 and 1941?

Britain and the United States developed a system called Lend-Lease, whereby the United States lent food and armaments to Britain, whilst the British leased various islands and air and naval bases in the Caribbean and the Pacific to the US government.
Because of the strict neutrality laws (isolationism) in place in the United States at the time, Lend-Lease was arranged as a commercial transaction and was, therefore, considerably more advantageous to the United States than to Britain commercially. However, since Britain would have starved to death without it, the deal may seem a little fairer than it felt to the British government of the time.

Describe two actions the US took to support the allies?
Roosevelt sought a few ways to help the allies. For instance, he asked Congress to withdraw the neutrality law which banned the sale of arms to countries occupied in war. Although some isolationists blocked his move, FDR still managed to make a compromise that the United States could sell arms to the Allies under the "cash-and-carry" plan. The "cash-and-carry" plan was that the allies had to pay cash for the goods and carry them on their own ships. Another way the United States helped the allies was the fifty old American war ships. By 1940, German submarines took down many British ships. When they needed help, President Roosevelt agreed to give then fifty old American destroyers. Once again, there was a catch in this move. In exchange for the fifty old American destroyers, Britain gave the United States 99-year leases on military bases in Newfoundland and the Caribbean.
