Of course it won't!
This is the first paragraph from the official summary of the CLOUD Act:
> This bill amends the federal criminal code to specify that an electronic communication service (ECS) or remote computing service (RCS) provider must comply with existing requirements to preserve, backup, or disclose the contents of an electronic communication or noncontent records or information pertaining to a customer or subscriber, regardless of whether the communication or record is located within or outside the United States.

Note the last part: "regardless of whether the communication or record is located within or outside the United States."
The problem is not, and never was, where the data happened to be stored (in a data center on EU or US soil). The problem is the legal implication that is directly tied to where the cloud provider is incorporated and therefore under what rule of law they are under.
