The US PATRIOT Act makes data storage location irrelevant. If the USA sanctions your country, the cloud gets turned off whether the data centre is local or not.
The USA is able to exercise soft power around the world because of and through its control of finance and now data.
I think you missed OPs point. They shouldn’t use data centres of US american companies even if they’re located in the EU because they already can’t guarantee that data isn’t leaving the EU. CLOUD Act is more relevant here than the USA PATRIOT Act.
