Why did Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt meet in Washington, DC, shortly after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941?

Churchill traveled to Washington shortly after Pearl Harbor to meet with Roosevelt at the Arcadia Conference. The two leaders discussed how the Allies would conduct the war, including prioritizing the defeat of Nazi Germany while also fighting Japan. Their meeting was therefore about an overall strategy for the rest of World War II, not just the immediate U.S. response to Japan’s attack.
