That's assuming the jurisdictions have the same rules as one another. If they have different rules, or conflicting rules, or rules that conflict with some other jurisdiction's data retention requirements, it becomes a huge mess.

And the probability of the US adopting the GDPR verbatim is practically nil.

Moreover, the chance of a verbatim GDPR in the US being interpreted the same way is even smaller.

Though I do have hope that there will be a common base that gives compliance amongst all regulatory areas.
