Japan didn't attack the U.S. until more than 2 years AFTER WWII started. By7 then the war in Europe was already massive and all-consuming. When the U.S. came into the war, Britain and the U.S. agreed that America's war material production for export would prioritize the European theatre, because that's where the most critical fighting was going on.
Even at the height of the Pacific war, this policy was continued because Roosevelt realized that before Japan could be beaten Germany had to be defeated. Withholding the resources needed to concentrating all efforts in the Pacific would have allowed Germany a chance to cement its position in Europe and Asia, potentially adding years to the war.
