While tens of thousands of people have joined Facebook groups in Sweden and Denmark calling for no longer buying American, Norwegian company Haltbakk Bunkers has announced that it will stop supplying US military vessels with fuel.
I’m trying to think, apart from technology, what do I buy from American brands?
American food doesn’t really come here except fast food franchises which I don’t frequent anyway.
Nobody has an American car.
My car’s electric anyway, so no American oil companies fueling it.
Clothes are probably all from Asia anyway.
I don’t subscribe to any streaming services.
I’ll order 5 or 6 things from Amazon a year. So that’s easy to stop.
Sure there might be the odd brand that is unknowingly American, but I’m left asking “What does America export?” because I can’t think of much in my life.
A lot of supermarket food brands are American. You might be surprised if you start looking. Both my deodorant and toothpaste is from Unilever, for instance.

Unilever is UK based and was UK/Dutch before that. Does it being a multinational make it American enough for you?
