Yes, of course. If they do business in the eu, they will need to comply.

If they don’t do business in EU, then they dont have to follow eu rules.

If Facebook certifies deletion of certain data, and somebody doesn't believe them, they can sue in an American court. If WeChat certifies deletion of certain data, and somebody doesn't believe them, they're SOL.

Why are most companies (i.e. USAToday complying) when they have no market, interest, or presence in the EU?
