There were a lot of Germans in the USA as well as Nazis and Nazi-sympathesizers (before the war and especially before concentration camps were discovered the fascists were highly regarded by the Progressives) . The country was mostly for the "Allies" hence the Lend Lease Act and the US armed services covertly aiding them at times. But there was much division. Pearl Harbor changed that.
When the USA declared war on Japan, Hitler followed with Germany declaring war on the US. Some people wonder if he hadn't if it had been a much different war. Going to Europe was probably inevitable though.
