Summary

Denmark’s Salling Group, which owns major supermarket chains Bilka, Fotex, and Netto, is introducing a black star label on price tags to mark European-made products.

The move responds to growing Danish consumer anger over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to gain control of Greenland.

While the company denies it is boycotting U.S. goods, the labeling system allows shoppers to favor European brands.

Similar trends are emerging across Denmark and Europe amid broader anti-Trump sentiment and concerns over potential U.S.-EU trade conflicts.

    I’ve been to Montreal/Quebec a handful of times. Felt just like Europe, just with bigger dumber cars. We can definitely let you in, but only if you promise to swap General Motors for Volkswagen ;)

      We may not have a choice, Trump’s tariffs may kill GM.

      There is a Volkswagen EV plant that’s being constructed in Canada now, and we’re totally cool with more things like that happening ;)

      Let’s go neutral and lock-in the Subarus we already love here. Or maybe even Renault and Citroen since they’re French and we don’t have them yet? VWs are expensive garbage. Honestly most German vehicles I’ve had the displeasure of being near are remarkably bad for the reputation and price tag they have.

        You can criticise German cars, but you can’t claim French cars are better

        Anyway, any cars that meet the EU’s emission standards are fine.

          Sure but the French cars are cheaper to make up for it, are they not?

          Also lol at VW meeting emmision standards. I know it was more specifically about the diesels but that still doesn’t fill me with much trust.
