European courts have jurisdiction in the EU, and CNBC is accessible in the EU unlike some other US websites, so they have to follow GDPR at least for EU visitors. And as far as I know cookie rejection must not influence the basic functionality of the site.

Yes, if this company has no assets in EU and no transactions with EU entities then enforcing this may be hard.
