How does this work? Asking legitimately. If an American author produces a work in America, with presumably an American copyright, don't USA laws decide when they enter the public domain?

Like, could some country just decide global copyright ends after 1 year after publication in their jurisdiction, and start printing their own copies of Harry Potter or whatever?
