Not sure whether the US is a pleasantly inviting jurisdiction at the moment.
I'm going to dodge the non-GnuPG-related political aspects of that question. Let's keep this as on-topic as possible, okay?
The question isn't whether, in the *unusual and unlikely* event the EU becomes cryptographically hostile, the U.S. would be a pleasantly inviting jurisdiction. The question is whether it would be a sufficient jurisdiction to keep GnuPG alive and development moving forward while future plans could be figured out.
Or, put another way: if you're traveling in a luxury suite on a posh cruise liner, and it suddenly catches fire and you have to abandon ship, a fishing trawler that offers you hot meals, a place to sleep, and a lavatory for your three days travel back to port, suddenly looks pretty darn good.
Whether the U.S. is the bastion of freedoms that it once was is a complicated political question. We could get lost in that for months to no productive end. Whether the U.S. retains *enough* of its freedoms to be a suitable home to GnuPG while it figures out its new direction is a simple political question: yes, it is.
