    @Kaboom That’s because buying from your country just for the sake of buying from your country was pretty much used as an argument by the far right for isolationism and xenophobia. I’m sure it still is, but given how the current Trump administration wants not only to rid democracy from the US, but also from allied countries, it makes sense for us to cut the ties to try to prevent this. And not only that, but also to help turn Europe as an alternative to the US, at least internally, if not also outside.

    I’d still buy/use stuff even if it wasn’t produced in my country, but in one of the other 27 member states of EU + the states part of EEA.
