Don’t buy American goods

What about the small local business that use Amazon to sell? Shops are not an option for this people.

although the liquor that was on the shelves was already paid for there will be no new orders.

Enjoy.

Ontario took all the US booze off the shelves. 1 BILLION dollars a year. Largest market for alcohol in the world is the LCBO.

You'd better drink quick.

Thanks for the subreddit tip!

Nah, I'm still going to buy goods from the US and Israel too

The buyfromeu subreddit is really helpful for swaps.

I’m being realistic - I know I can’t easily swap out MS or WhatsApp. But I can swap Amazon music for Spotify. I can cancel Paramount and Now TV. I can drink Canadian pike whiskey rather than JD. Australian wines rather than Californian.

as others said - it’s not the tariffs that are the problem. After all, the EU and the UK haven’t been targeted yet. It’s the bully boy approach. The sheer vindictiveness of it all. None of these tariffs are about increasing money in the US - they are all targeting countries who Trump perceived to have slighted him.

If people want to boycott American goods and also perhaps send a bit of support Ukraines way, take a look at www.dodosocks.com reasonable prices, fun designs and made in Kiev

the solution to being broke is to tax the very rich. he is reducing their tax! insane.

the trust is gone.
I get that the us is flat ass broke financially but his approach to tackling the problem is insane.
employess are on paid leave at this point and broken treaties come with financial fines.
can’t imagine anyone will buy military equipment from them.

Yes it’s the attitude, it’s a betrayal really.

International relationships between countries and their peoples are not transactional. They’re about neighbourhood, shared history and culture, mutual respect, principles and values, and caring about each others wellbeing.

You can’t put a price on any of that.

Trump will never understand. Relationships between countries are not like commercial exchanges between companies and consumers. And until America learns the hard way, we have to stand up for this.

I’m on holiday in the Caribbean at the moment. There are a huge number of Canadians and Brits here, and several that I’ve spoken to have cancelled or rearranged USA holidays and come here instead.

A bit of digging suggests it will make a difference….and locals are also finding that Florida “snowbirds” are looking at property to buy as they sell up in the US.

Trump seems to think he can delay or reverse the tariffs when he is ready and all will go back to normal - but no one here cares about the tariffs. It’s the attitude.

Our contribution combined is a lot more than the US has funded. And let's be straight...Iraq and Afghanistan cost the UK so much that since those wars we have struggled to recover. Before that point the UK was doing very well.

After this no one is going to trust America, we will fund out our satellites etc ...why on earth would we ever rely on your support ever again.

I’m Canadian and I’m doing my part to buy non American as much as possible, out of 35+ items bought yesterday 2 were from the usa (nuts and dish soap)
They don’t need allies, fine.
Hopefully they don’t need oil and gas, electricity, nickle, and fertilizer for their poisonous food production.
It’s not the us administrations concepts which are wrong it’s the melodramatic approach.

I did. Thank you. I kept wondering where it went. I hate the app.

This. And the relentlessness of the pro-Trump posters on here is telling. A lot of people have a lot of time, and a lot of text. All at once.

@Ph3 I think you meant to start a new thread? This is about boycotting US goods.

@LifeExperience"
Yeah, we're real stupid. Our GDP per capita is $83,000. UK GDP per capita is $49,000. Yup, we're just a bunch of gun totin' idiots...that are much wealthier than you.

The stuff that people are allowed to say on here about Americans would not be tolerated if it referred to any other country in the world. And you wonder why we don't want to pay for your security anymore."

My focus is on putting Ukraine in the best possible and strongest position for any peace negotiations and not using the suffering of Ukraine as a left wing opportunity to bash Trump and the USA.

The reality is that the US have walked off the job with regard to militarily supporting Ukraine. We can whinge about this but it's not going to help Ukraine.

What will help Ukraine is for all European nations to significantly up their military support to Ukraine to take up this slack rather than just speeches of support with little real support- the poor Ukrainian soldier on the front line needs ammunition not speeches.

I see too many posters quick to criticise Trump and the US taxpayers to continue funding this war but very quiet about be willing to contribute their own taxes and their own soldiers to this conflict.

Time is fast running out for Ukraine and Europe needs to step up and quickly.

Russia hates America. Putin must be delighted, NATO on the brink, a weakened and isolated America. Britain out of the EU. Russia has always used propaganda as warfare, social media is the propagandists wet dream. The reality of the Russian invasion is so horrific, the torture, raping of children, unforgivable war crimes. Russia is a true dictatorship where dissenting voices are butchered. How can so many Americans now be convinced that Russia is a worthwhile ally? Propaganda gobbled up via social media, MAGA happily cheering on the fall of free America as it falls into authoritarianism and becomes isolated from its allies. I wonder how Russian and China who hate America will exploit this.

But……..
are you happy America?

That article sounds like it's from some totalitarian state where diplomacy and reasonableness have gone out the window.

Using "I have more money than you" as an argument against stupidity is in itself quite unintelligent. That's not the measure of idiocy or the general population's lack of general knowledge and common sense. Also, most of that money is concentrated in the hands of the few at the top, who play the not-so-intelligent to part with their money.

It's very easy to end a war by surrendering. Nobody needed Trump for that. Unfortunately, it's not the best option for the Ukrainian people and they will insist on standing up for themselves.

I can’t find the post that says the USA doesn’t want or need allies but good luck to them, because their only allies are Russia and North Korea.

Anything we can do to make it harder for trump is good
hes all about money and control
so let’s get on it where we can
from small seeds things grow, stop travelling there stop buying anything from the US and
support the sane Americans who are marching in the streets
