Roosevelt circumvented the cash and carry requirement of the Neutrality Act by implementing the Lend-Lease program in 1941. This allowed the U.S. to supply Britain and other Allied nations with military aid without requiring immediate payment, effectively enabling the U.S. to support the Allies while maintaining a facade of neutrality. By providing supplies on credit, Roosevelt ensured that Britain could continue to fight against the Axis powers despite its depleted funds.
