People around the world are choosing not to buy American products to demonstrate their anger at President Trump’s policies. “We all feel that we are doing something,” said one boycotter. “We are acting on our frustration.”

What else can we do?? Seriously? I call representatives daily, protested, donated, manned phone lines. I will keep doing all of the above but still feel like there is no checks and balances!!!
Just got back from a shopping trip this morning and I’m happy to report that I didn’t buy a single American product (even though it probably cost me an extra $20-$30) 🇨🇦💪
I’m avoiding them best I can. Not that I use that many anyhow. Probably US ownership hardwired into many things we can’t avoid… Australia. Thought we were allies and had a so called free trade agreement.
Canadians have stopped purchasing American manufactured goods and services. Frustration is not the correct word. Downright anger would be more correct.
Nothing like being an asshole to the world and costing US industries billions. People are fooling themselves thinking the US will recover all of this lost international business.
plus foreign travelers spend $150-200B in the US annually
No, it’s not taxes. We are disgusted by everything US right now. We’re already beyond Tesla, MacDonalds, Starbucks and Coca Cola. Many are considering cancelling their Netflix, HBO and Disney+ accounts. It is NOT “more taxes”. It’s utter *walging* of US revulsants.
Denmark's largest supermarket chain ($10 billion) labels all products produced in Europe. This way, consumers can support European products. Danes are avoiding American goods, especially after Trump's threats against Greenland. A Danish app has been produced that uses AI to recognize American goods.
Coast to coast big or small Canada will boycott it all. New trade deals being made. Tesla is the canary in a coal mine warning ⚠️ that’s flashing bright red alarm ‼️
And rightly they should - the economic pain being felt and about to be felt by all is imposed by the USA alone.
This is an idea or ploy by one government to inflict harm on others for the benefit of themselves lead by an avalanche of lies. Shameful !!
They will try to convince you this doesn’t matter. And it’s not that many people doing this. It is a lie. They care if they have a slow retail season. But it’s from the entire WORLD. I have think they’ve already noticed and that’s why we are where we are.
With the running down of various agencies, departments and monitoring, destruction of important data etc. I am concerned about the safety and quality of anything coming out of the US. I don’t buy things that may have suspect quality. Sorry!
And this is bad for America, and American jobs. Can you say that or will you be purged from the White House "press" briefing roll, forced to watch the fictions from afar?
To be clear: most of us non us people who aren’t buying us stuff are well clear about the orange clowns failings. We are more disappointed with the rest of America. Fucking do something.
The rest of the world needs to isolate the United States. That's the only way to deal with "he who won't play by the rules". Don't let him get the upper hand. Bring him to his knees. Americans will understand. Make him crawl on his belly, like the snake he is.
They're not just angry at Trump's policies.
They're justifiably angry at our entire country for electing him twice.
They're telling us that they don't trust us.
And they're correct in their mistrust.
We are no longer a country to whom truth and trust matter.
Already avoiding Amazon which is tough but not impossible. Many sites incentivise with free shipping if you buy directly. Prime Streaming is pretty awful which is easier. Not renewing the Prime subscription this year.
We deleted Netflix, Hbo, Google, PayPal, no American foods, drinks or anything coming from people who support the government and the tech people behind. Not because I don't like US, lived in NYC for 3 years, but because I cannot support what is going on in the country right now.
People are cancelling holidays to America. One of the biggest groups are young backpackers. But after hearing of the shocking experience of the Welsh girl who was accused of breaching her Tourist Visa. Locked up for 3 weeks & shackled in chains when deported. I would advise no-one travel to the US
That’s exactly what I’d do if I was in a foreign country right now after what America is showing the world under Trump in fact in recent travel to another country, we had people at hotels ask us about Trump and what we thought about him and wondered how could people love for him my thoughts, exactly
I agree with countries around the world I don't blame them. But not all states put Hitler in office. So please reconsider and check out who manufactured the product, if they're a democratic led co. and if they reside in a blue state. Please don't punish blue states for this greedy monster in office.
I live in the Eu and am looking for a list of US made products online - actively checking when making any purchases big/ small so as to avoid us. Was going to visit NY for first time this year on family holiday, but cancelled out of fear.

When Canadians first started talking about boycotts, I remember Americans saying nobody would do it, people can't be bothered, etc. We are not so easily demoralized. Neither are so many people in Europe, evidently.

A big part of our national independence was the Tea Party. Our founders dumped British tea into Boston Harbor. Boycott America. Trump only cares about money and grabable female body parts.
Same. Had plans to do a US coast to coast via Panama Canal this year. Still want to do the Canal but looking for alternatives so we don’t have to step foot in the States.
Many of us here are boycotting companies supporting the Don.
Especially: Home Depot, chick filet, Walmart, American Airlines,
Sephora, Amazon, Tesla, X …
Trump keeps on saying, Usa don't need anything from other countries like Canada. Well to be honest, Usa themselves sells things no one needs. It's pretty easy not to buy American products.
This is quite a profound statement. I was looking through a wheeled chart of US products that has been posted in the replies above and realised that, except for about 1 or 2 brands, I don't really use much from this list.
Can’t believe you have to ask “why”? Not been paying attention to the White House over the last 2 months? Don’t think your readers are? it’s the Orange Mussolini’s fault
John West products are being boycotted in Aust - as are Gibson PRS Fender (USA) and Taylor guitars. The local Australian Guitar companies, Maton and Coke Clark benefitting from Trump’s insanity, while the American manufacturers the big losers.
UK resident here. My own mini boycott has taken the form of de-googling my phone, ditching Amazon and associated devices, and stepping away from Meta services. I am also avoiding purchasing American products.
Aren’t you supposed to bury the lede a little? Don’t ask an easy question for your headline. There’s no reason for me to open the article. What rookie rag is this‽‽?!
Unfortunately that’s not how it works. The entire country gets blamed even when only a portion of a country actually votes a criminal in. Just like how Israel is blamed for the actions of its far right. Just how Palestine is blamed for the actions of Hamas.
Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of boycotting everything American but if anything, I am not doing anything in red states (Excluding blue counties!).
I’ve only spent a month in USA but the vast majority of Americans I met there or here in Australia have been polite and considerate. I don’t recognize this horrible ruling mob from my personal experience.
I'm from Germany, and Tesla is extremely unpopular here, and hardly any cars are sold anymore. I'm avoiding all products from the US until Trump and Musk are gone.
I'm minimizing my purchases. No new car while they're imposing a regressive flat tax they call a tariff, designed solely to fund tax cuts for billionaires. I'm not donating to Musk's wealth to the extent I can make that choice. He's bleeding us dry plenty enough with his government contracts.
more should do so. make the regime pay for their stupidity. Republicans are to blame for taking an economy which was chugging along nicely and making a pig's breakfast out of it. Now we're going to have millions lose jobs, savings and healthcare. So, the next depression, which serves em right..
Nah, I see 'Made in the USA' I'm not buying. It's not as if your do-nothing Dems are on our side. I didn't see a single Dem politician seriously asking Trump to stop calling Canada the 51st state.
The only thing we still want (and will) to import is your fabulous scientists, though we feel pretty sorry for them that they have to leave the country which isn't praising science anymore (among countless other weird moves).
America love to tread on their customers The other countries that helped them get rich who bought or used their products.
Sadly world let America change it landscapes. Capital cities in many countries became American brand stores. From fast food to fashion. We all helped America to become wealthy
Funny how America fogets that most countries let American businesses change their landscapes. Once you could tell which country it was by their capital city. Now they all look same. It started imo with McDonald's fast food.
America, just love to tread on their customers. The other countries that helped them get rich who bought or used their products. Pfftt. Sadly the world let America change it landscapes. Capital cities in many countries became American brand stores. From fast food to fashion. We all helped America.
As an American - smart call. Not with the risk and you'll sleep better knowing you did the right thing. Trump Musk only respond to money. Hit em where they feel it.
We are not forgetting our friends. This is about US policy that we are standing against. We have loads of American friends that honestly we can’t do without. From New Yorkers to those Damn Texans America has great people and some of my best friends.
Maybe we should wear blue bracelets or something. Remember only about 30 percent of us support the Nazis. Those that do for the most part don't have passports and can hardly read or fit on airline seats so you're probably safe!
I and many others are sitting out in this economy as part of a growing internal boycott. Staying home spending as little as possible to survive. Buying foreign alternatives as long as possible.
While I support boycotts I do worry about the local merchants who have already paid for the items on their shelves. I would hope that customers would tell their retailers not to buy more once the inventory is gone from the shelves.
As an American. Thank you to everyone supporting us by boycotting. A lot of us didn’t ask for this monstrosity that is in office… we are trying our best
Good Americans can help by boycotting Trump-state products, especially those targeted for retaliatory tariffs by our friends in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.
Trump and Musk don’t care b/c they’re busy lining their own pockets. Taking food from the needy and children in school. Destroying the federal infrastructure to make it easier to do more dirty businesses.

Buying better now too. No going back.

So they shouldn't complain when they decide they want to be like the empire they fought
The markets and decent law abiding World citizens can and will get rid of both Trump and Musk..
Musk FIRST please.!
good candies!
Especially: Home Depot, chick filet, Walmart, American Airlines,
Sephora, Amazon, Tesla, X …
The Republican Party is the party of dumb & dirty.
Don't buy American.
Don't consume American media.
Avoid Elon Musk products and delete X
Are you now figuring out thousands of lost dedicated subscribers like me really notice.
Hoping I'll come back but need you to always unanbigiously call balls and strikes.
😁

at making America hated across the globe
I'm skipping Coke and drinking Irn-Bru instead. Although I shouldn't be drinking any sugary drinks at all....
Recall/Expel all US ambassadors from/to the US.
Ban all travel to/from the US, especially US passport owners, no matter their connecting travel.
Expel the US from NATO and the UN.
The US wants isolation from allies. Give it.
I'm betting not many...🤔
