A significant cause of Soviet mistrust of the Western Allies during World War II was the West's delayed opening of a second front in Europe, which the USSR believed was a strategic maneuver to weaken Soviet forces. Additionally, the ideological differences between the communist Soviet Union and the capitalist Western nations fueled suspicion, as did the Western Allies' previous non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. Incidents such as the Western reluctance to share military technology and intelligence further exacerbated these tensions, leading to a deep-seated distrust that would persist even after the war.

Additionally, the Western Allies' negotiations with the Soviet Union, particularly regarding post-war plans and territorial divisions, often lacked transparency, fueling suspicions. The ideological differences between the capitalist West and the communist Soviet Union further exacerbated these tensions, leading to a pervasive sense of distrust throughout the war.

The Berlin Blockade was supposed to cause the allies to give up western Berlin to the Soviet forces, but instead the allies constantly airlifted supplies past the blockade until it was lifted.

I'm pretty sure it was because of Operation Barbarossa initiated by the Germans where they invaded the soviet union even though they were on a sort of peace treaty.
Stalin didn't just mistrust the western allies, he mistrusted everybody. Stalin had to fight for the leadership of the USSR after Lenin and had many in the party who opposed him. He dealt with these by arrest, deportation and murder, just as he did with the officer corps of the armed forces (a factor that led to the slow Soviet response to invasion by the Germans) and the Kulak landowners created by Lenin (that led to mass starvation). He had also mad a 'pact' with the Germans over Poland and this Non-aggression pact had ultimately led to nothing but deception on Hitler's side. Stalin knew Communism was an 'enemy' of capitalism and his capitalist allies indeed mistrusted him, especially Churchill. Stalin felt that the lack of a credible second front was in order to weaken the Soviets for a continued invasion by the British and USA. This again ultimately led to the annexing of the Warsaw Pact countries and formation of the 'iron curtain' in Churchill's words.
