CIA and NSA should not break US law, but they have right to break right in UE and don't care about civil liberties of people without US citizenship. That is why people should not trust foreign intelligence agencies.

Trust is not binary. Certainly as an European, I'd pick the US over China without much though.
It's true that things like the US constitution doesn't apply for non-citizens outside the US (IIRC it does for foreigners inside the US, hence Guantanamo bay not being inside the US) but that's not the same as "they can and will do anything".
