Domain trademarking question

I was all ready to buy a domain and then a day before I was going to finish the deal I noticed that someone had just registered a trademark that was very similar. The trade mark is in the USA.

Lets say the trademarked domain is "digitalinformation.com" and the domain I was going to buy is "digitalinfo.com". (this is very close to the actual domain)

Their trademark covers the exact type of site I would be developing.

Now what if I formed an EU company and go my domain trademarked in the EU? I would not be physically doing any business in the USA. I would just have an online information/resource/review site.

Would there be any risk of the company with the USA trademark being abe to take my domain away?
