An exchange for 50 over age destroys that the british desperately needed to defend their island, the americans had 99 year old on various places in the western hemisphere, which are marked on this map. Its fdr could do this. Because he argued that this was a defensive for the United States. Even then he got a lot of pushback, isolationist, america first, did not believe anything of a kind.
