I checked that they do have the mentioned contries including the US
and some EU contries. Just in case this is what I do:
1. Navigate to the English homepage at: https://www.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/
2. Click the "Register" button on the right top position, it then
redirects to the registration page at:
https://id5.cloud.huawei.com/UnifiedIDMPortal/portal/userRegister/regbyemail.html
3. On the registration page, click the "Country/Region" drop menu
4. The US and some EU countries are in the list.

Aron
