The US did more business with the Allies than with Germany because they were closer to the Allies in politics and in language.

America and Great Britain spoke English and had similar laws. They also had similar ancestry and Americans sympathized more with Britain and France.

Germany was also blocked off by a British blockade so trading with them would have been useless. Nothing would get through.

Hope This Helps! :3
