No, though in retrospect it seems that way. Hitler despised the US, thinking us "mongrels under the control of International Jewry".

Though it might interest some that the spread of Germans into Russia was "justified" by a similar "Manifest Destiny" that lead Americans to exterminate our own Native peoples. Some apologists felt that the extermination of Jews, Slavs and other "subhuman species" was analogous to the US Indian wars half a century or so earlier.

True, even though Hitler praised the US for conquering the natives and building a "model society" for Germany to follow, he only declared war on the US because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Jewry in the US only fueled the fire. It was just a repeat of the original lame excuse to fight in the first place
