He did it through the land-lease act.

According to the act, no american soldiers would be sent to fight the war but rather the act would enable European allies to take equipment and resources from the United States in the form of a loan. Eventually, the United States had to join the war when Pearl Harbor attack happened and soldiers had to stop being isolationist.
