All European manufacturers who export cars to the USA build those cars to meet US EPA and safety regulations -- they may be built in Europe but they meet all applicable US standards (or they can't, by law, be imported). So I guess I don't really see your point -- if GM, Chrysler and Ford wanted to send European-built models to the States, they surely could do it. That they choose not to has little/nothing to do with US safety regulations.
