The gamble that Germany made before the US entered the war was that their blockade would defeat Britain. The US troops arrived before the blockade defeated Britain.
During most of WW1, the US remained a neutral nation. It tried to trade with both Great Britain and Germany, but Britain didn't allow the US to trade with Germany, so it set up a blockade.
The Germans used U-Boats to sink the merchant ships that were carrying supplies to Britain. German U-Boats were also used to target and sink naval vessels. On the day that Britain declared war on Germany, German U-boats sunk the British merchant ship the Athenia as it sailed from Liverpool to Montreal.

In response to the Soviet blockade of Berlin in 1948, the United States and Britain initiated the Berlin Airlift, a massive operation to supply West Berlin with food and other essentials by air. Over the course of nearly a year, planes delivered thousands of tons of supplies daily to sustain the city's residents. This action not only helped West Berlin survive the blockade but also demonstrated the West's commitment to resisting Soviet pressure during the early Cold War. Ultimately, the airlift was successful, leading to the lifting of the blockade in May 1949.
The US was angry due to the German blockade of Britain because of frequent commercial shipping from the US to Britain.
