I'm using a us/news/%postname%/ structure for my permalinks. This works great for regular posts.
However, I have a few different custom post types, and I don't want the us/news part in their slug.
How do I have it both ways?

You can do this by setting 'with_front' => false
while registering the new custom post type, To remove the custom post type slug which Wordpress adds by default, pass 'slug'=>''
empty.
E.g.
//Example - how to pass array to rewrite
$args = array(
// This rewrite settings will remove the slug you want also the slug - /custom_post_type/
'rewrite' => array('slug'=>'','with_front'=>false),
);
register_post_type('custom_post_type',$args);
Reference - Register_post_type()
You could change your permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%/
and add the posts to a News category.
If you don't always want US in the URL, I suppose you could make a US category as a parent, then add the News category to it as a child. You'd have to duplicate for every country though. So you'd have to have UK -> News, then CA -> News, etc.
