A number of companies, including many of the country's most quintessentially American brands,
have warned that growing anti-Americanism as a result of Donald Trump's tariffs
could end up hurting their success overseas.

Experts believe that the trend,
if it translates into a broad-based shift in consumer behavior,
could prove to be a significant headwind for the companies
while taking a significant toll on the broader U.S. economy.

I live in the UK. I inspect the origin of every product I buy in the supermarkets and other stores. I boycotted goods from South Africa during the apartheid years. I have boycotted goods from Israel for many years. I have now added the US to the list.

@junesim63 @cdarwin Exactly the same here. My current headache is IT brands and services. I'm gradually moving away from Google, but when it comes to operating systems... Apple, Windows and Android (Google!) are a little more difficult.

@junesim63 @cdarwin I still boycott some brands which quite egregiously still did business in SA during the apartheid years, like Shell

@cdarwin ....not exactly a deep survey - just friends & acquaintances, locals and other expats in the SE Asian country I live in - but plenty of disgust with the impact on this country from the "unjustified and harmful" new tariffs. US has definitely lost the shine it once had...and there are abundant, affordable & excellent alternatives to US products.
