Why would a neutral U.S. help the Allied forces?

=We (the Germans) should stop
American aid to the Allied Forces!
= Okay, we will use U-boats to sink any
ship that enters or leaves the ports of Allied Forces
Good Idea?

We (the U.S.) will hold you accountable for any American lives lost in submarine attacks.

Turner’s Response…“I saw the torpedo speeding towards
us. Immediately I tried to change our course, but was unable to maneuver out of its way. There was a terrible impact as the torpedo struck the starboard side of the vessel. It was cold-blooded murder.”
