Danish Boycott of US Goods Spreads Across Europe
Fueled by outrage over President Trump’s policies, a significant boycott of U.S. products is sweeping across Europe and Canada. This movement, evidenced by surging online group participation and increased searches for “Boycott USA,” manifests in individual consumer choices, such as avoiding American brands in supermarkets and forgoing U.S. vehicles. Even businesses are participating, exemplified by a Danish supermarket chain introducing a label to highlight European goods and a French solar company canceling a Tesla order. While the economic impact on the U.S. remains uncertain, the widespread anger underscores a palpable shift in consumer sentiment.
