‘US Americans’ makes it sound as if a distinction is being drawn between Americans inside and outside of the US or something

E.g. in Germany, inhabitants of the US are usually called "US amerikaner", so this is a direct translation (the Kiel institute is in Germany).
It's just Germans being stereotypically precise about things (and reminding citizens of the USA that they aren't the only people in the Americas).
"US Americans" is routinely used to name "people in the US", since "Americans" is ambiguous, and "US citizens" is more restrictive and explicitly excludes residents that are not citizens.
