American brands like Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Tesla, which once lined the boulevards of Paris, are becoming symbols of political resistance.
In a sharp rebuke of the Trump administration, a new poll finds that nearly two-thirds of French citizens support a boycott of U.S. goods, opposing the new American administration led by President Donald Trump, which has been verbally targeting Europe since coming to office.
I’d like to think this will be the same in the UK, but unfortunately there seems to be too much apathy for any large scale boycott of US brands.
Starmer seems to be holding out for the “special relationship” to offer some insulation from tariffs but I don’t think Trump really cares at this point.
