European Boycott of U.S. Goods Intensifies Over Trump's Policies

Denmark leads a growing movement protesting Trump's threats to Greenland and broader U.S. policies, with significant backlash against American brands.

• A widespread boycott of U.S. goods has gained momentum across Europe and Canada, with Denmark at the forefront due to Trump's threats to seize Greenland by force.
• Danish citizens and businesses are shifting away from American products, with major retailers like Salling Group introducing labels to highlight European-made goods.
• The movement has expanded to other countries, including France, where online groups advocating for boycotts of U.S. brands have attracted tens of thousands of members.
• American companies, particularly Tesla, have faced significant backlash, including declining sales and incidents like Tesla cars being set on fire in Germany.
• The boycott reflects broader European frustration with U.S. foreign and domestic policies, including Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate accord and perceived far-right associations.
