They way they have always interacted with other countries is by domination until they got discombobulated in the 1980s. Since they got over the shock of that, they have been trying to gain back some of their losses little by little. Goal is to not only retrieve the countries they lost back under their thumb, but to add any and all other ones they can.

Including but not limited to the United States, which they have made huge strides toward that goal. The ultimate goal is world domination.
