Who's been wronged?I'm truly shocked at people's attitude and lack of backbone when it comes to American products and the current problems being caused by the U.S.A.
This is your opportunity to buy British and support your own country, just remember today it's someone else tomorrow it could be you.
Stand up for what's right.
To the people who criticise me, would you want someone to fight for you when you were wronged?0 -

The trouble is the US people voted in an egoistic narcissistic into the highest position in thier land.
They did it to themselves.
When they find that his 'Make America Great Again' campaign will actually cost jobs, rise prices due to trade levies and find everybody in the world actually hating the USA more, that's when things will change.
I looked at what I buy and DO buy British. Unfortunately a lot of the other stuff is made in China but branded in the UK. I don't see any products around me that are directly USA made.
Personally I think China is the biggest problem to world trade. They will soon influence the world more in general than the USA.
I would suggest you get off your preaching soapbox and do some research into that question.The more I live, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the more I grow.
The more I grow, the more I see.
The more I see, the more I know.
The more I know, the more I see,
How little I know.!!

I buy British when I can, but I shall not be avoiding American products. I have a brother that lives in Alabama, how is he supposed to do the same?
Trump may be a bully, but he is putting his own country first as we should.
I for one am not going to punish the American people for electing an idiot. After all, we came rather too close to having an idiot in government. Can you imagine if we had elected Corbyn, the country would be on it's knees by now - at least their idiot has not utterly wrecked his country, and he loves America as opposed to Corbyn who appears to hate the UK.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

You need to name all of the everyday US products that we need to stop buying because I just can't think of any.
I won't stop using the products that I already own but if you can tell me what to stop buying then I will give it all of my attention.
I am not talking about the big stuff like Microsoft and steel, I am talking about the small stuff like Starbucks and Pepsi (neither of which I buy).0 -
Coca Cola and MacDonalds are just two which come to mind. You mention another two yourself. There are hundreds of products originating from the USA. What about Hollywood films, Amazon etc?Wizard_of_Id wrote: »You need to name all of the everyday US products that we need to stop buying because I just can't think of any.
I doubt anyone will provide you with a comprehensive list.
To be frank, any kind of embargo on US goods would have to be enacted by governments to have any effect. This isn't going to happen.
Realise also that a lot of local people are employed by American firms. Do you want them to lose their jobs?0 -

My post was more tongue in cheek than anything and aimed at the OP to see if they could actually answer.
I would not target 'made under licence' products as they are not imported even though the parent company is American, the product on sale in this country was in all likelihood not made there.
There has still been nothing named on this thread that is imported from America that I buy.0 -
