For sure, the US will "talk" to those who threaten their hegemony or economic dominance. If they "listen" then all's well.
Which is precisely why you saw us engage in so many massive displays of military force during the talks which led to NAFTA, amirite???

The US is perpetually engaged in massive "displays" of force. It has continually had a larger military machine than the rest of the world combined.
Everyone knows what happens when you step out of line.
