America betrayed England and France in 1956 by backing Nasser's seizure of the Suez Canal and forcing their withdrawal through economic blackmail; something that Eisenhower later admitted he deeply regretted. Well, no.
Eisenhower did not support the seizure of Suez by the Egyptians, he opposed the Anglo/French/Israeli invasion of Egypt in response.

Yet, in the flow of history, the difference is largely attitudinal and leaves the course of history unchanged.
