I have a genuine question about this movement. Small businesses and startups aren’t the problem. Why “buy from EU” instead of “stop buying from big corporations” regardless of their countries? Small businesses (from anywhere) cannot absorb the rising costs and tariffs, and they are struggling.

Because it doesn't matter if its big or small. If it's American, it pays taxes in the US, it's boycotted.

Do you think the current US regime is being selective about the size of EU companies that are being hit by their unwarranted tariffs? Of course not.

Nor will we.
