They can't.

The US uses 1/4 of the world's resources, and needs remote strength to ensure continuation of supply. If you wrap up the US influence around the world then the US will either need to do the unthinkable .. reduce consumption of resources, or will suffer from countries and administrations being able to decide where to allocate and where to sell their resources.
