That difference is not statistically significant. If both the US and other_country have the same probability of electing a female leader, the results could easily be exactly the same. 1 female leader or 0 over 30 years, that's purely chance.
Especially given that there are many other countries to chose from to cherrypick positive results. To do it properly you need to average all countries as a comparison.
Lastly some countries don't elect leaders directly, but indirectly through votes by elected representatives. Which could maybe produce different outcomes than if the general population voted.
