I guess USA becoming a superpower, thus making sense to move there from Japan with the aim of world domination makes sense... except Shredder was sleeping at that time, and wasn't there with his grandiose plans.
Any chance for exploring this terrority more in the comic later? I know that the next logical step is exploring the phanteon stuff, but it would be nice, to also learn more about the Foot clan's history.

In the early issues Karia was narrating a brief history of the foot clan and how they became greedy with no honor and moved to a financial market scheme. The biggest financial market in the world is the U.S. so I assume thats why the moved to New York specifically.
