US & Japan had pretty warm relations before WWII, although u can say anti Western sentiment started surfacing in Japan during the SHowa movement. Introduction of Ministry of Shinto Religion & incorporating it w/ political life surely created an element of xenophobia in Japan.

Trade between US & Japan was not unheard of. Many Japanese items were household hits in USA & in West, especially saltpaper Photography. Even top Japanese generals toured the US & both nations did exchange high level attaches w/ each other. The General who defended Iwo Jima, General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, did a very exhaustive study & tour of US, for instance.

US did facilitate trade deals w/ Japan esp. after it became a resource hungry nation after Meiji govt.
