Roosevelt was determined to aid Churchill by giving him some old destroyers, but was binded by the Neutrality Act. Roosevelt found a loophole in the provision of the Neutrality Act that required cash purchases. In exchange for the right to build American bases on British-controlled Newfoundland, Bermuda, and islands in the Caribbean, Roosevelt sent 50 old American destroyers to Britain.

What did the US do to help Britain during the Battle of Britain?
The United States completed a swap of bases for old destroyers called the Lend-Lease act. The United States, as a neutral country, was not supposed to sell warships to Britain. Instead of selling, they loaned about 50 older destroyers to Britain for the duration of the war in exchange for the rights to use a number of British bases around the world. In the final months of 1941, the United States began selling extremely large quantities of war-related materials to Britain on credit. The materials were protected by American destroyers leading convoys. The United States agreed to protect certain British interests in the Western Hemisphere.
