Roosevelt felt that Germany was more of a threat than Japan.

He and his military advisers adopted a "Germany first" strategy because Nazi Germany posed the greater long‑term danger to the United States and its allies (control of Europe, greater military/industrial capacity), so most resources were committed to defeating Germany before focusing fully on Japan.
