Agreed. But they can't really force the FIA to follow and rules the US says, as the FIA isn't in the US. All they can do is threaten to not let them race in the US.

Additionally, the Concorde Agreement, which is what they're taking issue with, is set out in English Law, and would need to be challenged in an English court.

All they could really do is threaten to take US races away, or the Netflix series. The FIA, constructors, and to some extent FOM is not under US jurisdiction.
