The political heat for refusing to enforce EU laws? Is this a serious claim?

American's by and large don't want others laws enforced here. Not China's, not middle eastern laws, and they fought a war of independence against having European laws apply in the US (ie, the US killed folks over this).

A current political issue is partly the US enforcement of its laws overseas, which has rubbed many countries the wrong way. Because of the significance of the US in the current financial system the US has exercised really outsized power internationally.
