Why did the US place trade restriction on japan before world war 2?

The U.S. stopped selling oil to Japan in July of 1941, which was part of the motivation for the Pearl Harbor attack from Japan's perspective. We were their major oil supplier, and the shipments were stopped in protest of Japan's invasion of French IndoChina. This embargo would've ground their economy to a halt in fairly short order, forcing them to find oil elsewhere. But before they could do that, they had to make sure we wouldn't be able to interfere with their expansion.
