Lend-Lease. The program, promoted by Franklin Roosevelt, attempted to provide war materiel to England when the US was still officially neutral. FDR explained that when our neighbor's roof was on fire, we didn't want to force our neighbor to BUY our garden hose, but to use it as they needed and then give it back. So it would be with a bunch of obsolete World War I destroyers that were mothballed in US shipyards; the British would use them during the war, and then give them back.
