Because the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Chaos makes the news. Boring doesn't. Countries that are currently being run by mostly functional adults don't find themselve in the news as much as countries that are a literal dumpster fire being fed by boat-loads of orange toddler piss.
Ergo...the U.S. news is everywhere at the moment.
It's good if you filter out that shit based in keyword. I've had so much less stress by filtering out any posts with the words {"Trump","Vance", "Putin", "Israel", "Republican", "Democrat", "Fart Sandwiches"}

You do the Jaguar math.
Post content. That’s all that matters.
The United States is a giant nation in the English language. It comprises of a majority of English as a first language speakers and a large percentage of English speakers overall. American media output is also going to be primarily in English, including local news.
In contrast, a nation like Germany is likely going to speak in German when possible. This likely includes media like news. So, when it comes to news articles, I don't expect English news from Germany to be written in anywhere near the quantity of English news written about California.
I feel like it would be like asking why Portuguese media focuses on Brazil.
English speakers will talk about the UK/Canada/Austrailia/etc. once one of them are on fire/falling into fascism as well.
We have Florida Man and Europe doesnt
It's possible that most English-speakers on this planet are in the US.
