There's also the Cloud act, which makes it illegal for US cloud providers to refuse data access requests from the US government.

As far as I understand, the EU is fine with you sending data to other countries, as long as those countries have the same standards for data protection. In the EU's opinion, the Cloud act, as well as the whole NSA situation, mean that the US doesn't fulfill this definition.

Yes, we have a GPDR compliant law in place, and we can interoperate with EU.
