I agree that there was no long term plan, in fact, to be honest it's hard to find any long term plan in Nazi Germany, the chaotic system of government that Hitler created around him made such things pretty difficult. However, in a bi or tripolar world it would be almost inconceivable that the superpowers would not clash in some manner. Look at the USSR and USA during the Cold War, look at the proxy wars that took place and how close to war we came on more than one occasion.
Hitler might not have planned to go to war with America in the aftermath of a European victory, but I'd put good money on a clash happening at some point anyway. Certainly Hitler would not have embraced America with open arms, especially not after the assistance that had been given to the UK during the war time. Perhaps if a fascist government had come into power in the US then relations might have improved, perhaps if Jews started getting treated like blacks, then things might not have come to blows, but you put superpowers in a room together and eventually someone is going to elbow someone in the guts.
