Washington, noting that the United States was not in a good position to take part in European conflicts, decided that the US would be neutral to any European affairs. He instructed citizens to adopt their neutral status and not make any move to make their country look like it had sided with any European power. And hostile action towards European powers by US citizens would be met with punishment.
Similar to Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality in 1793, The United States decided to remain neutral in European powers upon the outbreak of WWII. However, later in the war, the United States joined the Allies.
