> Sure, and US can pass a law saying that safety regulations of Airbus planes made in France are not sufficient either. Americans just don’t like flying in unsafe planes!

If you cannot see the difference between this and the GDPR, I have no idea why we're talking. The GDPR is some pretty reasonable law, for the most part - if we had carve-outs for Americans who don't have to adhere to it, it would be entirely pointless.

The US is very welcome to end this by repealing their spy law.

Actually, it would be worse than pointless - it would advantage american firms over local ones, since only the local ones would have to obey the privacy laws, thereby allowing US ones to undercut local firms with funds obtained from selling user data.
