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

Churchill and Roosevelt met at the Arcadia Conference in Washington, DC, in December 1941 to coordinate Allied plans for the war. They discussed an overall strategy for defeating the Axis powers, including prioritizing the war against Germany. The meeting was not mainly to decide surrender terms or consider whether the United States would respond; the US had already entered the war after Pearl Harbor.
