Originating from Canada, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged consumers to support local products, the boycott trend has spread to several European countries, particularly Scandinavia, where Facebook groups and sub-Reddits are gaining traction. The boycotts stem from outrage over Trump’s threats to withdraw troops from Europe and the imposition of tariffs, which have strained US-European relations, especially as retaliation has begun with EU tariffs on American goods set to start in April.
