The number would be large.

Starting with the Italian, German, and Japanese fascists themselves. Large American corporations happily did business with all three right up to the beginning of U.S. participation in World War II.

The Cold War list of Fascist regimes and coups they supported would be huge.

The book 'Why do people hate America' has a huge list of imperialist interventions, supported coups, direct and indirect interference with foreign government affairs dating right back to the creation of the country.

I suppose the most notable support of Fascism and attack on left wing governments was the supported coup of Salvador Allende which saw a brutal fascist dictatorship come to power resulting in mass killings and torture. Also the attempted coup in Venezuala.
