The U.S. has been doing this for decades, applying U.S. laws to global citizens who happen to travel to the U.S, and I'm not even talking about kidnapping foreign citizens and taking them to Cuba.

You need to travel to the US. They are applying laws domestically.

The US is quite opposed to extrajurisdictional law enforcement which is why they don’t sign onto things like the International Criminal Court.

And a US citizen who chooses to break EU law has very little to worry about unless they travel to an EU country, where that country's law will be applied.
