the United States agree to end aid to the Nationalist Chinese, freeze military deployments in Southeast Asia (except for Japan's reinforcement of northern Indochina), provide Japan with "a required quantity of oil," and assist Japan in acquiring materials from the Dutch East Indies.[3] The United States was about to make a counteroffer to this plan, which included a monthly supply of fuel for civilian use. However, President Franklin D. Roosevelt received a leak of Japan's war plan and news that Japanese troopships were on their way to Indochina. He then decided that the Japanese were not being sincere in their negotiations and instructed Secretary Hull to drop the counterproposal.
Just let Japan continue their forced conscription of their neighbors or make sure they have the materials they need for their industrial complex (why would that be the US problem?)
Funny how NOTHING you cite speaks ANYTHING about Japans warmongering or numerous invasions of their neighbors to steel natural resources
