Nobody is banning you. You are risking to be fined if people in the EU complain their PII are being shared or processed without their consent.


…and what happens when the fine is unpaid?


While in theory GDPR claims global jurisdiction, in practice (pre-Brexit) UK ICO conceded they can't do much about US companies (Washington Post to be precise) as there's no EU presence, so there's that.

I guess it's a bit like if South Korea tried to enforce their North Korean songs ban in the US.
