Current state of this, as far as I can tell: https://www.firstattribute.com/en/news/eu-data-boundary-for-...

Note that it's seemingly unclear whether it's OK for EU companies to store data even on EU servers of US parent companies. Although very little has actually been done about this and everyone, governments included, is still using Microsoft 365.

In principle as long as a state has legal hooks into a large enough part of the business it’s probably ok. Data centers are less tricky than phones because they don’t move.

I’m also not sure there’s so much practical difference between a company headquartered in the EU vs USA. The relevant thing would seem to be where operations happen, and what legal and practical hooks each side has into the company, including physical location of servers and the people who operate and write code for them.
