A survey has revealed that a third of German consumers are increasingly avoiding American products and services due to the policies of US President Donald Trump.
According to a survey conducted by the Innofact Institute for Public Opinion Research and commissioned by comparison portal Firefox, 34.3% of respondents said they were already purchasing less American goods and services, and another 17% said they intended to reduce their consumption of these goods and services.
Consumers are particularly concerned about American smartphones, with a third of them either wanting to reconsider their purchasing behavior or already have.
About 30% of respondents indicated they no longer wished to use American computers or social media services like Instagram and X.
However, regarding the messaging app WhatsApp, only about 17% of Germans said they could envision using alternatives.
Meanwhile, about 30% of survey respondents question the feasibility of boycotting American goods, and 36.3% go a step further, believing that American services like WhatsApp and Amazon have already become so dominant that they cannot be dispensed with.
