I don't think that the trial decision in a foreign court is binding in US courts. The US court will not enforce them because they are completely different jurisdictions

I'm not 100% sure but I think one of our treaties with the Netherlands is that we enforce each other's laws/court judgements.

Looks like it comes down to a each state to determine how and if they will honor decisions for other Nations.

Here is some information I could find[1].

Obviously, there is a lot of variability here, and I don't there are blanket agreements to enforce judgements. It is hard to imagine the Netherlands forcing payment for an abortion damages judgement from a Texas court .

Think the US famously never signs treaties like that. Our courts decide.
