The trust of their customers?

Afaik the US Government is a big Amazon customer.

I would imagine that particular customer would rather Amazon not quietly honor, say, a Russian subpoena for their data.

does it mean you have to put your data into Yandex or Alibaba Cloud if you wanna avoid USG quietly getting it?

The problem for an Amazon hosted server is US subpoenas, not Russian or European or whatever...

Amazon has AWS regions in six continents.

Ha ha ha ha ha...

Amazon? Trust? People trust Amazon to exist and to bill. Providing services to those who pay the bills is almost incidental.
