Summary
An international boycott against US goods is intensifying across Canada, Europe, and beyond in reaction to authoritarian policies and trade tariffs under Trump’s second administration.
Consumer boycotts have notably hurt Tesla, exacerbated by Elon Musk’s role in Trump’s administration, causing Tesla’s share price to plummet.
Cultural boycotts, including canceled tours and rejected US-made products, are widespread, reflecting anger over US policies and Trump’s stance on Ukraine.
Analysts emphasize this unprecedented backlash signals declining global trust in the US, with a shift towards ethical consumerism driven by political anger and activism.
Avoiding American goods is fairly easy and not very impactful. Avoiding American services is where it’s at.
I’m in Canada and yes, US grocery items are very easy to avoid. I cancelled netflix/disney/amazon. But yeah I’m still using gmail/android and this one may be hard to avoid…
