The United Kingdom would probably have been invaded, but Hitler really wanted them to surrender (the actual point of the Battle of Britain). Invading the US would have been an impossibility due to the 3000 mile distance between Europe and the US (likewise it would have been impossible for the US to have invaded Britain from the US). While an invasion could have been attempted, the US is as large a land mass as Europe itself, to supply an army large enough to invade across 3000 miles would have been impossible.

One of the beliefs that Hitler held was that he was defending the West from the communist menace that was the USSR, this was his holy war and modern crusade. One of Hitler's final goals was the complete destruction of the Soviet Union.

what exactly was Hitler's Master Plan with regard to the UK and US? Extend the Third Reich to all the world if possible. US and UK would have been absorbed as slave states like continental Europe.
if the UK and US hadn't declared war on Hitler to stop him from conquering all of Europe, what would Hitler have done? Conquered all of Europe, then North America and beyond.
Would he have invaded the UK? Yes, if he won the Battle for Britain.
What about the US? US was non-interventionist until Pearl Harbor. US sent aid in food and materials of war. If Pearl Harbor did not happen 12/7, US might have been invaded[a different version of Red Dawn].
Would he have been happy just ruling the European continent, and sign a treaty with the US? No, his objective was as much of the world as possible, like Alexander the Great.

The UK declared war on Germany in 1939 but the USA never declared war on Germany it was the other way round in December 1941.
Hitler had no masterplan for the UK, even after the occupation of France he still hoped for an Armistice with Britain so that he could concentrate on his main target which was the USSR
He was a great admirer of the British Empire and many of the right wing politicians and elite in Britain admired him.
He had no master plan for the USA and was quite happy to trade with them until Decmber 1941.
Don't forget that at that time one third of Americans were of German origin..

I feel that Hitler had no 'master plan'. He wanted to conquer as much territory as possible and it was kind of hit-and-miss. He took out the easy ones first, had a master-stroke in defeating France, and felt he could do anything.

He didn't miss until invading the USSR and then declaring war on the US.
