Not much of an "empire" if you ask me ...
Remarks by President Obama in Address to the United Nations General Assembly
The notion of American empire may be useful propaganda, but it isn’t borne out by America’s current policy or by public opinion.
Despite recently closing hundreds of bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad—from giant “Little Americas” to small radar facilities. Britain, France and Russia, by contrast, have about 30 foreign bases combined.
