This is not possible at instance level. But you can have geographically distributed applications at hosted service level, using the Traffic Manager. This means you'll need a hosted service for your West Europe deployment and one for your US deployment.

Problem

I currently have a production deployment in West Europe and would like to create another instance that is running in the US. How is this possible?
