In a sweeping new directive, US diplomats have been ordered to actively lobby foreign governments against data sovereignty laws that restrict how American tech companies handle international user data. The move puts Washington on a collision course with the EU&#8217;s GDPR framework and similar regulations spreading across dozens of countries, potentially reshaping the future of cross-border data flows and cloud infrastructure worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration is launching an unprecedented diplomatic offensive against the global wave of data privacy regulations that have reshaped how American tech giants operate overseas.
