The US has always had a mindset of "abundance for us and allies, scorched earth for anyone who dares to oppose us". But players profiting while helping build up American abundance is OK, but that's about it - as soon as you're challenging US power (not necessarily directly, but just by being as successful as the USA at something), that becomes a huge problem and you need to either swear fealty or be stopped.
The USA has never once had friendly relationships with a large power, perhaps with the very special case of the USSR alliance during WWII (and not a second after it). The European powers and Canada are extremely US friendly and support US policies (at the head of state level) in almost everything. Relations with China were good while China was a weak and poor state, acting as almost slave labor for the USA - not great now that they are rising up. Relations with Russia were good for a brief window after the fall of the USSR, while Eltsyn seemed to be "our guy", but quickly soured when it became clear he would not dance to their tune (not to sya that he was a good man or that his disputes with US intentions were good - Russia would have probably been in a better state if it had allied itself more with the USA, rather than becoming the belligerent territorial authoritarian oligarchy that it has).
