@CatinIL could probably expand on this, but the primary reason the US is the only TRUE superpower in the world: coastline and rivers...
Yep, the Americas are in a great geographic position and the US has the massive breadbasket in the middle. And the number of navigable rivers that crosses the US. A lot of commerce can be moved via water. I liked his comment about our costal ports and their water depths. Critical for large shipping.
