Issues with the apperance of cross country sitelinks

[eset]

Hi Moz community,

My questions is related to the international SEO, esepecially sitelinks. The problem is that the users from US see in the search results the sitelinks which comes from different countries, e.g. users from US see the sitelinks from Australia or the sitelinks from our international website, which has obviously no specification.

I must say, that we've done everything to be in accordance with Google interantional SEO recommendations, hraflang & lang attributes, properly set location in GSC. All of these were tripplechecked.

I also need to say, that it happens only to the websites that include content written in English nad French. All other branches show proper sitelinks. It think Google can't properly locate the content, if the language is the same regardless country. Previously it could be solved with disavow tool, but today's I don't know about any manual action that could deal with the issue.

I also noticed that some other pages are affected with the same issue.  To better understand the issue, please see the image link. The image shows the results from US. Despite the location, it shows sitelinks form UK or International website.

Do you have similar experience? I will be thankful for any help.
