**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 ;)

I'm still hoping we backdoor our way into the EU... Canada is like Western Europe... with extra Western.

And they're still are marketed as an European nut, but the US produce 70% of all the pistachios on the world.

That’s funny, as an American I think of pistachio as being Turkish and Greek.

Yup! Do what the christians are afraid of doing: treat your body like a temple.

I hope that Lidl and Aldi in the USA start doing something similar to this. I would love to know at a glance what comes from this shithole country and what doesn't. Little hole-in-the-wall Asian and Latino markets are great for this already, practically nothing in them is local.

Granted, I don't buy processed foods any way, but still.

Unfortunate; it’s not identifying US-made goods, it’s identifying European-made goods.

I was hoping that the EU and commonwealth nations would band together on this.

Hey don't forget to look for the maple leaf on those products too! :)

Or, you know... just slide us Canucks right into the EU, if you please. ASAP.

We are doing that in every province in Canada. Screw the US. They are treating us in Canada like enemies. Now they are treating the EU the same way . Isolate the US.

Hope all this antiamerican sentiment also include fucking pistachios. Tired of everything being pistachio flavor now became Americans flooded the market

Good, don't eat our shitty food. The assholes in charge don't care if we die from malnutrition, so long as it takes a long time, and that's when their healthcare buddies will step in to either bankrupt your ass or deny you.
