COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Widespread anger over the Trump administration’s push for U.S. ownership of Greenland is prompting shoppers in Denmark to boycott American products and services such as Tesla, Netflix and Coca-Cola.
Supermarkets are making homegrown products more visible, cellphone apps are helping consumers work out where their purchases originate from, and Facebook groups have been set up offering tips on how to avoid American goods and services.
Among them, “Boykot Varer Fra USA” or “Boycott goods from the USA,” which has gained almost 93,000 members since it was set last month to protest President Donald Trump’s repeated suggestions that the United States should take over the Arctic territory.
“We love the U.S. and the culture, but we just dislike the president,” one of the group’s co-administrators, Bo Albertus, told NBC News in a telephone interview Saturday. He added that the Trump’s treatment of Greenland, which is part of Denmark, and has “a set of values that we do not share with Trump” was inspiring people to join the group, which has a crushed Coca-Cola can as its main image.
