This is a process controlled by Google and not your system. Google redirects you to the nearest server based on the IP address you are connecting from. I was traveling thru Europe a few weeks ago and that page would switch from .ch to .fr to .de to .co.uk and back to .com on my laptop. I think there is an option some place in Google to set the US website as your default.
