This is actually incorrect. The US and many other countries have entered into trade agreements with each other. For example, if a company does business in Europe (sells goods or services to EU customers), they are subject to EU regulations in a whole host of areas. The GDPR is only one example of such law. You, personally, are not subject to EU laws since you are, presumably, not running a business with EU customers or data subjects.
