As the Normandy war cemetaries are actually American territory that was given by France to the United States after WW2

I don't think that it's American soil. From the Wikipedia article on the topic:

France has granted the United States a special, perpetual concession to the land occupied by the cemetery.

A special, perpetual concession, doesn’t that mean these tracts of land are under US jurisdiction for millenia to come ?
