Due to current laws, United States Intelligence Agencies are not allowed to spy on American citizen's communications including Internet traffic (with some expanding exceptions). However, Internet traffic that exits the country is legally fair game for intercept and decryption. This includes VPN providers that route your traffic outside the USA. This means using a VPN may unwittingly open users to legal spying by US Intelligence Agencies. No International VPN providers disclose this information to their customers. It is perfectly legal for US Intelligence Agencies to break encryption, perform man in the middle attacks, or other encryption weakening methods on data transiting international borders.

If data passes international borders it is subject to "bulk collection" by the Intelligence Community because of Executive Order 12333. See [https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/how-cia-acting-outside-law-spy-americans this article].
