For George Washington it was important to establish relations with other nations, but these relations caused interdependence and this should be analyzed with caution so as not to result in setbacks for the nation.
For Washington, interdependence was beneficial in relation to trade agreements, as it could generate profits and advances for both nations. However, it was necessary that these relations between countries should not be very intimate as this would cause involvement in particular matters for each nation, generating unfavorable foreign control and that should be avoided.
He also stated that interdependence between two countries could generate alienist situations, where one nation would deceive and alienate the other.
