Not sure why you're assuming Americans are the market.
It just seems in keeping with other European press organizations like Deutsche Welle, BBC, (or, ugh, RT) etc. that offer an internationally focused version of their brand which also happens to be in English... because most of the world speaks that.
(I very much enjoy Deutsche Welle's content, myself. But could be because I'm a bit of a Deutsch-o-phile on account of my father being a German immigrant to Canada)

The french version of those are France24 and RFI, they're already available in english. I think Le Monde in english is more comparable to Spiegel International.
