Considering that public opinion in the US and Canada on this subject is already veering in the general direction of owning up to the crime being a Good Thing...and Canada already went there with our Truth and Reconciliation Commission and is fitfully working on the consequences of that nowadays...I can't see much harm coming to the US from this "threat" of Erdoğan's denunciation either.

For North America, where the people who were the victims of the genocide are largely dead or disenfranched and outsiders already have an understanding of what happened or don't care there seems little likely tangible downside to admitting that a bad thing was done and then trying to reconcile from that position.
