Most US overseas territories aren't great candidates. The US has a lot of territories spread across the Pacific, which are hard for European powers to take and hold.

I think the Caribbean might be good. The US has a huge, neglected territory in Puerto Rico, with historic ties to a European power (Spain). It would be interesting to start negotiations on defence arrangements with an independent PR, or some hoohaw of that sort.

Another option is the US Virgin Islands -- formerly a Danish colony, so some good optics there.

One that might be fun is Navassa Island, the last of the US's guano island holdings from the 1800s. It's a little uninhabited dot between Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti. Most Americans don't even know it exists. The claim is kind of shaky, too.
