We did declare war on Japan in support of our American cousins though.

I think being at war with Japan would have neutralised any former hesitation to get engaged in Europe as well, so maybe it would have changed the timing a bit if Hitler would not have declared war, but sooner or later the US would have entered the European war, too.
