Roosevelt believed, probably correctly, that the Germans would continue the war whether or not Japan was able to continue fighting and furthermore, probably erroneously, that the Japanese were likely to capitulate as soon as the Germans surrendered. Therefore, a victory in Europe might well kill two birds with one stone, saving much money and many lives.

∙ 12y agoTo the best of my knowledge, German declared war on the US as well as the rest of the world. The Germans had been shooting at US ships for months, if not years, before the actual declaration.
ANSWER
Totally wrong Germany never declared war on the us and never shot any American ship in vain by acciden maybe for a reason maybe the American were neutral but they supplied the allies in ww1 and ww2 that's illegal so to say by the ways of war and noone knew this more than Germany if your neutral and expect to stay that way you must supply both nations if you wish to supply a nation in a war
Germany was getting very very pissed by this act of treachery to the Geneva codes]
the Germans always obeyed the Geneva codes the malmedy massacre was the Americans own fault they striked a German office and got all rowdy so the Germans shot into them plus if you were in command of a us armored div that was running out of fuel at a very fast pace would you drag along a bunch of German prisoners nothe Americans were more likely to shoot on surrendered Germans then the Germans were to shoot on American POWs
