If you are wondering why this would be so:
"Churchill told the King everything, all the secrets of the Second World War…the King presents (in his diary) Churchill’s enormous frustration and irritation with the Roosevelt administration in America for not being more bellicose, the glacial way it approached the Second World War. Because Churchill saw it as a war for civilisation and democracy of course, and that America should’ve got much more involved much earlier." - [Andrew Roberts]
Then you need to do some research on how much Roosevelt admired Mussolini:
"We can throw light on this question by examining the mutual admiration society between the FDR administration and Mussolini’s Italian fascists, and also the praise that the Nazis heaped upon FDR’s New Deal in the early 1930s. Hitler, Mussolini and FDR seem to have regarded each other as ideological kindred spirits. This is a subject hardly mentioned in progressive textbooks or progressive historiography.
In 1933, FDR responded to a journalist who asked him his view of Mussolini. “I don’t mind telling you that I am keeping in fairly close touch with that admirable Italian gentleman.” That same year FDR again gave his view of Mussolini to Breckinridge Long, US ambassador to Rome. “There seems to be no question that he is really interested in what we are doing and I am much interested and deeply impressed by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced honest purpose of restoring Italy.” [D D'souza]
