Before the CLOUD Act there was the PATRIOT Act, which had effectively the same provisions.

These things have not been legal since the GDPR went into effect, and in some countries even before then.

Oh yeah sure, that also would not work with the patriot act.

To be compliant with the GDPR, the US needs data laws which only affects citizens on their own soil and not overreaching to EU citizens.
