Trump Tariffs Spark Global Boycott of US Goods
President Trump’s tariffs and combative rhetoric have sparked a significant international “Boycott USA” movement. Across Europe and Canada, Facebook groups dedicated to avoiding American goods boast tens of thousands of members, fueled by economic retaliation and anti-Trump sentiment. This consumer backlash is impacting various sectors, including liquor, tourism, and automobiles, with some businesses actively promoting local alternatives and governments removing US products from contracts. The boycott extends beyond economics, encompassing cultural figures and businesses distancing themselves from the US, demonstrating a broad-based rejection of current US policies.
