According to reports, Denmark shoppers are now boycotting American goods and services in response to President Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland. The boycott went viral through social media groups and had led to a decrease in sales for some companies, like Tesla, Netflix, and Coca-Cola.
NBC News reported “widespread anger” over Trump inquiring about ownership of Greenland, which has allegedly prompted shopped in Denmark to boycott American products, and pushing local businesses.

Cellphone apps and Facebook groups have even been created to help consumers “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.
Albertus, who works at a school for children with autism in Albertslund, a suburb of the capital, Copenhagen, added that the group was working with a similar campaign in neighboring Sweden.
Some Canadians have also begun boycotting U.S. companies and products as well.
