"No. The CLOUD Act applies to all electronic communication service or remote computing service providers that operate or have a legal presence in the U.S. For example, the CLOUD Act is also applicable to a cloud service provider that is headquartered in the EU and has operations in the United State" https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/cloud-act/ https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/cloud-act/
