Using Apple Card (or other US-issued cards) in EU

I'm from US and I am trying to gift my brother a HomePod in Netherlands. However, I am unable to do it despite being on Apple website via Apple Pay, because apparently they require the billing address to be from Netherlands. Have any of you guys faced a similar situation? What can be a work-around?

This is honestly weird, since how can they expect someone to have a Netherlands' billing address if the person is not located there?
