Boycott des produits américains ou des produits made in USA ? - Marques de France
Avec les délires de Trump et de Musk, on voit fleurir de nombreux appels au boycott des produits américains. Comme le diable se cache dans les détails, boycottons avant tous les produits made in USA pour ne pas plomber, un peu plus, notre économie.Élodie Lapierre (Marques de France)

Replacing an american product made in Europe by a European product made in Europe means jobs in Europe in both cases, but no more profit for the american companies.
But I would recommend to focus on companies that funded Trump’s campaign.
For instance, sometimes I read people saying they stoped Netflix. But Netflix funded Kamala Harris’ campaign, not Trump.
