What was NOT a reason Roosevelt recognized the soviet union in 1933?

One reason Roosevelt did NOT recognize the Soviet Union in 1933 was to support the Bolshevik government’s legitimacy, as he was wary of its communist ideology and the potential spread of communism globally. Additionally, he did not recognize the USSR to promote political alignment or ideological agreement, as his primary focus was on economic recovery and diplomatic relations rather than ideological endorsement. Instead, his recognition was motivated by pragmatic concerns, including the desire for trade and to counterbalance the influence of Japan.
