Well, they are not under our Constitution, and not under our authority, so we have no rights anywhere but in the US, and they have no protection under our Constitution. Obvious right? Apparently not.
The President is responsible for foreign policy, according to the Constitution, and should express whatever is in the US best interests firstly for the safety of the nation - so the president should try not to start any wars, right? Next the President might state what is in our best interests economically, but carefully so we do not divulge things that might weaken our hand in the great international game of "Poker." Lastly, as it is our weakest position, is to take idealogical stands, as such stands potentially weaken our first two duties, and are rarely effective because other sovereign nations can do whatever evil they please and generally we have nothing we can do about it, without compromising our first two duties.
Some Presidents in the US have tried to strong-arm other sovereign nations, or coerce them with economic sanctions. Such things always come with payback, and almost always give the US a bad reputation. In the "Cold War" for example, if we had let the Communists do their thing without providing a fall guy for them to blame, what they were doing would have been obvious in the World and they would have suffered all the blame for everything they did, and would have been utterly discredited by now.
But by foolish foreign policy, we ended up being perceived as the bad guys, with a CIA that has a reputation for deceit, corruption and death in the World, and that is what the World has come to believe is the US. So much for a supposedly clandestine operation that achieves its objectives without being seen. They are an utter failure. So is any foreign policy that tries to bully our way around in the World.

Couldn't agree more. The result of overused and politically weaponised sanctions gave way to creation of SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organisation), which entails 40% of the world population, and more than 30% of global GDP.
Russia and China are also pushing for their native inter-bank payment systems such as MIR, that not only render US sanctions ineffective but debase US Dollar completely.
Interesting time we're living in...
