That country, along with Lithuania and Estonia, was given to Stalin, courtesy of President Franklin Roosevelt, immediately after the war.

I believe these countries were already occupied by the Red Army when FDR recognized them as part of the Soviet sphere of influence.

FDR never "had them," so he couldn't "give" them to Stalin.

However, he didn't have to recognize the Soviet occupation as legitimate.

He was more concerned with Stalin's cooperation in a "Global New Deal" and the creation of the United Nations to enforce this international socialist vision.
