Its about facting time though.
The Guardian: ‘I feel utter anger’: From Canada to Europe, a movement to boycott US goods is spreading
The fall in Tesla sales in Europe has been well documented, as has a Canadian consumer boycott in response to trade tariffs and Trump’s calls for Canada to become America’s 51st state, but the past week has seen daily reports of cultural and other forms of boycotts and disinvestment.
More striking, perhaps, is the decision by companies to cut ties with the US. Norway’s largest oil bunkering operation, the privately owned Haltbakk, recently announced a boycott of its occasional supplying of fuel to US navy ships.
“The United States is, after all, the leader of the free world. Or was: its vote with Russia, against Ukraine, at the United Nations last month, combined with Trump’s and Vance’s verbal attack on Zelenskyy, along with Trump’s denunciation of Zelenskyy as a dictator and a refusal to use similar language about the Russian despot, suggests to many that America is no longer an instinctive member of what we term the west.”

Isn't this a 'merica problem? Or is the world so interconnected that the foolishness occurring in America affects other countries?
Merica problem. These misfits outside of America think they really matter and they really talking into the echo chamber and will not have an effect on anything and is not mature enough to handle any alternate thinking on these things.
Over 50% of the American public is complete agreement with what's is happening
Donald Trump assertion that Europe was designed to counter America is just harmless talk and watch the misfits of the world get excited.
In retaliation...All MAGA trumpeteers boycotting Canada based po.rn hub...

Indeed!
If misfits in and out of the US, knew their place in "their" great merica, and appreciate that they are disposable and unwelcome and they don't really matter
and they really talking into the echo chamber and will not have an effect on anything and is not mature enough to handle any alternate thinking on these things.
Very good to see the echo chamber coming to its senses. Albeit very very slowly.
Ivan Hansen, a retired Danish police officer, loaded up his basket at the supermarket, carefully checking each product to avoid buying anything made in the United States. No more Coca-Cola, no more California Zinfandel wine or almonds.
The 67-year-old said it’s the only way he knows to protest U.S. President Donald Trump’s policies. He’s furious about Trump’s threat to seize the Danish territory of Greenland, but it’s not just that. There are also the threats to take control of the Panama Canal and Gaza. And Trump’s relationship with Elon Musk, who has far-right ties and made what many interpreted as a straight-armed Nazi salute.
On his recent shopping trip, Hansen returned home with dates from Iran. It shocked him to realize that he now perceives the United States as a greater threat than Iran.
“Trump really looks like a bully who tries in every way to intimidate, threaten others to get his way,” he told The Associated Press. “I will fight against that kind of thing.”

Waste of time, the U.S. operate with excess capacity!
In, general, the U.S. can only fail by what obtains within, not external forces!

That's why they were able to shutter the USAID program and left the US Farmers stuck with 'unsold' products which usually ship to countries benefitting from said USAID.
