Following recent tensions involving U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in Greenland, developers of mobile applications that assist consumers in identifying and boycotting American-made goods have reported a rise in user engagement. In Denmark and other countries, these apps have gained attention as shoppers seek to avoid purchasing U.S. products.
Ian Rosenfeldt, creator of the “Made O’Meter” app, noted a noticeable increase in downloads and activity since the diplomatic disagreement surfaced. The apps provide information on product origins, enabling consumers to make informed choices aligned with their preferences.
**Why this matters**
The surge in use of these apps highlights how international political events can influence consumer behavior and trade dynamics. It also reflects growing interest in product transparency and the ability of technology to support economic decisions tied to geopolitical issues.
