-* Modi’s supporters call for boycott of foreign brands in India -* U.S. tariffs on Indian goods stoking anti-American sentiment -* India is key growth market for American companies -* Group linked to Modi’s party protesting against foreign brands
NEW DELHI, Aug 11 (Reuters) - From McDonald’s and Coca-Cola to Amazon and Apple, U.S.-based multinationals are facing calls for a boycott in India as business executives and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s supporters stoke anti-American sentiment to protest against U.S. tariffs.
I am in Switzerland and doing so since February. For example, I’ve been wearing New Balance shoes for 20 years (buying a new pair ever 9 months on average) this year I bought Puma. Also switched away from all US services I was using including Cloudflare and MS Office. When buying an Airfryer last month, Ninja was out of the question and I went with a European brand instead. Additionally, I stopped investing into US stocks for the first time in 15 years I mostly bought European and Japanese ETFs this year.
Oof. Friend, your economy, through the fault of greedy little shits 90+ years ago to now, is likely tied to ours in some cocaine fuel financial tomfoolery. Get your politicians to divest if you can. F35s are a good start.
Any tips on the air fryer? Philips is basically Chinese, what did you buy and how happy are you with it?
I went with OhmEx which is afaik still Swiss made.
Merci!
