Tens of thousands Swedes join the movement. “But it’s hard, you need to boycott almost everything.”
Donald Trump returned to the White House and, in such a short term as president of the US, has already shook several countries, several economies.
Among the news, the tariffs applied in various directions (however some) and the suspension of military support to Ukraine.
As expected, several countries have reacted, including governments themselves, with official measures. O and A will be the first two cases that come to mind.
And Sweden reaction comes, not from the government itself, but from social media. Almost 150,000 Swedes have already joined two groups that appeal to a boycott Brands, US companies. Group members will already be applying this boycott.
The appeal is for all Swedish consumers to stop buying products from: Tesla, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Nike e Levi’s; or cancel subscriptions to Netflix, stop going to Google and stop using the platform Airbnb. All are US companies.
Group organizers present options alternatives; And they hope it has even effects on the Swedish (and US) economy, so that the Trump administration will change its stance with Europe.
“When I can’t vote for the US elections or manifest myself on the streets of the United States, I feel that I have to do something,” said Jannike Kohinoor, creator of one of the groups, quoted in.
But a Swedish consumer admitted: “It’s hard. Why Everything has American influence. Therefore, it is terribly difficult. Then, You need to boycott almost everything“.
Another buyer thinks that the call to boycott will not have a major effect: “Let’s make our usual purchases And we don’t always think of the origin of the products. ”
One of the groups was created on Facebook, which is from the goal – a US company. “We have no better alternative,” said the creator of the group.
