One of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first foreign policy initiatives was to send a representative to Geneva Switzerland, to visit with the League of Nations. Roosevelt wanted to convey his positive response should there be any international arms reduction agreements. He also made it known if other peaceful nations had identified an aggressor nation and sought to used armed force against such a nation, the US would not impede the use of such armed force. This was a delicately worded policy statement to involve the US in any international peace agreements.
Roosevelt was making this initiative without consulting the US Congress, and with the full knowledge of the US's reluctance to become involved at all in what he had suggested.

President FDR was in office. He had information on the attack before it happened but did not want to change his war or foreign policies.
Congress and the president employ various methods to implement American foreign policy. The president can negotiate treaties, appoint ambassadors, and direct diplomatic relations, while Congress holds the power to ratify treaties, regulate commerce with foreign nations, and allocate funding for foreign initiatives. Additionally, Congress can influence foreign policy through legislation, oversight, and the power to declare war. Both branches often collaborate, with the president taking the lead in diplomacy and Congress providing checks and balances.

The president has several advantages over Congress in conducting foreign policy, including the ability to act quickly and decisively without waiting for legislative approval, which is crucial in urgent situations. The president also has access to extensive intelligence and diplomatic resources, allowing for informed decision-making. Additionally, the president can negotiate treaties and engage with foreign leaders directly, while Congress's role is often more reactive. Finally, the president can leverage the power of executive agreements, which do not require Senate ratification, to implement foreign policy initiatives more swiftly.
