It's rational. The US government exists to protect and promote the interests of US citizens and companies. So it is the US's job to protect its citizens from foreign surveillance.

I'd say it's Europe's job to protect its citizens from foreign surveillance. It's not "OK" so much as "Not my job."

If only the European continent would form some kind of trade based union

Edit: parent comment said something like "Europe is a continent"
