I don't know if it's a mistake in the translation or in the original script but the oil embargo was retaliation for the occupation of French Indochina (Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam). You can even see this event referenced in the newspaper at the start of the chapter.
The occupation of the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) didn't happen until after the United States joined the war.
