I don't really understand how a country can ask a website to comply with its laws if the content is not hosted in that country. I guess it could be asked to comply under threat of being blocked in response to non-compliance.

It's such a weird area.

If you change ‘website’ to ‘business’ and ‘hosted’ to ‘headquartered’ it’s straightforward and just as accurate.

You could also argue it's like a shoe company based in the US, where UK people are ordering from them and asking them to ship it to the UK, while UK government threats to set up import restrictions.

GDPR is not issued by a country though, but a commission.
