Danish Boycott of US Goods: Anger Over Trump Fuels Trade Shift
Driven by President Trump’s repeated threats to annex Greenland, tens of thousands of Danes are boycotting American goods and services. This grassroots movement, fueled by a sense of alienation from a former ally, manifests in avoiding everything from candy containing Californian almonds to popular streaming services. The boycott reflects a broader shift in Danish sentiment, with the population feeling threatened by the U.S. administration’s actions and rhetoric. This consumer activism puts pressure on the Danish government to adopt a stronger stance against the United States, while simultaneously boosting demand for European-made alternatives.
