You can't target only people in the US for promoted posts. The only options are to promote to Facebook fans or to promote to Facebook fans and friends of fans. Many of those friends of fans have ended up coming from foreign countries in my experience for a local restaurant.

That's not true. The target icon lets you target page posts, and the promotion will inherit the targeting of the page post.

I'm a page owner (130k+ fans).

Weird. I don't have that option on a page with 1,500 fans.
