If your host is in the US, you are subject to US laws. If they can't track you down since you are outside the US, they can have your ISP shutdown your server and confiscate everything since you would not have appeared before them.

If you have US-based financial transactions (ie. credit card processor), they could go to them and freeze your account, etc.

That's probably the most that can happen, assuming of course there is no CP on the website. (if there was CP, then the FBI would work with international organizations to track you down via information provided by credit card processor).
