Pretty sure you’re wrong. The closest thing to it was the Arcadia Conference of December 22, 1941 to January 14, 1942. The upshot of that with regards to what we’re discussing is that we agreed to base US bombers in England for multiple uses including maritime patrol and the British agreed to strengthen/reinforce their forces in the Pacific. It also agreed that Germany would be the priority and set a limit on forces of all nations that would be committed to the Pacific. That last kind of went out the window as the U-Boat threat diminished with the closure of the air gap, the Kriegsmarine was steadily converted into an interesting series of artificial reefs for sealife conservation, and the naval forces committed to Europe ran out of things to do.

Look at The ABC Conferences.

We seized French ships and were very worried about a Nazi attack in South America.

The details of American military thought in the summer before Pearl Harbor are amazing.
