Point, welcoming North American hatred (6)
I believe the answer is:
animus
'hatred' is the definition.
(animus is a kind of hatred)
'point welcoming north american' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'aim' (I've seen this before).
'welcoming' is an insertion indicator (in sense of 'inviting in').
'north' becomes 'N' (abbreviation).
'american' becomes 'US' (United States).
'aim' placed around 'n' is 'anim'.
'anim'+'us'='ANIMUS'
(Other definitions for animus that I've seen before include "Malicious ill-will" , "Deep-seated hostility or vital force" , "Heat" , "Ill-feeling; hatred" , "Hostile spirit in speech or action" .)
