You do realize many US companies are not practically allowed to operate in some European jurisdictions? Uber and Amazon come to mind.

  Aren’t they for a different reason, like workers law protection?

    Those are just examples. Whatever the reason for each, sovereign jurisdictions don't allow free access to their resources/markets just out of spite. That includes Europe.

      That’s only partially true though. I don’t think Uber itself is not allowed to operate anywhere. Rather it’s business model is illegal in some cities/areas. Usually you can still use Uber to hire actual taxis there. However exact same rules apply to its European competitors like Bolt. Make it entirely unrelated to this situation.

  That has nothing to with them being US companies. Or are there any jurisdictions where Bolt/(other local company) is allowed to freely operate but Uber is banned?
