Summary

Trump’s tariffs have sparked international boycotts against American goods, with Canada and Europe leading the movement.

Facebook groups, “Buy Canadian” campaigns, and business actions—like Ontario cutting a $69 million Starlink contract—reflect rising anti-US sentiment. Tesla sales in Europe dropped 45% in January.

European retailers are labeling non-US products, while a Norwegian company stopped fueling US Navy ships. Experts warn US brands face reputational damage.

Japan’s Suntory Holdings anticipates declining demand for American products due to tariffs and backlash, signaling potential long-term consequences for US businesses.

          They are not the bystanders they are the victim and they need to realise that because it is fast moving to a point of no return. Their inactivity will bring their own house down.
