Running an Azure role in multiple regions?

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?

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.

This blog post explains how to make it work: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CloudPowerHowToScaleAzureWebsitesGloballyWithTrafficManager.aspx

You would need to create a new hosted service in the US datacenter/region that you want to deploy to. Then deploy your service to that new hosted service. You can use Windows Azure Traffic Manager to direct users to the deployment closest to them (one of the three policies that can be established - performance, round robin, and/or failover)
