Foreigners have been able to get US licences for many decades. I'm one.

Only representatives of a foreign government can't get a US call. Try

I have read it. A few times. If you live in the U.S. and get a U.S.
license, I doubt there's any complaints. If you live in Germany,
have never been to the U.S., and never intend to go to the U.S.,
I doubt many people would deem it necessary for you to have a
U.S. license.
