Franklin D. Roosevelt was concerned about cutting off all oil supplies to Japan because he feared it would provoke a strong military response. Japan relied heavily on imported oil for its military and industrial operations, and a complete embargo could lead them to escalate their aggressive expansion in Asia and the Pacific. Roosevelt aimed to maintain diplomatic negotiations while avoiding a direct conflict, but he recognized the potential for heightened tensions if Japan felt cornered. Ultimately, this tension contributed to Japan's decision to attack Pearl Harbor.
