Social media platforms around the world, especially in India, are witnessing a surge in anti-U.S. sentiment following President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 50% tariff on goods imported from India.

Angry social media users are calling for a boycott of digital payment apps like GPay, suggesting escalating frustration linked to these recent economic pressures.

In response, Indian users are taking to social media platforms, especially X, to boycott Trump’s fascism against India.

“We are not against technology; we are against hypocrisy and disrespect. If you want our support, you must first show us respect. #BoycottGPay,” shared a user.

Likewise, another user shared, “Data is power. Don’t gift yours to outsiders. Choose homegrown apps. Choose self-reliance. Choose India. #BoycottGPay”

“We don't need platforms that profit off our people while mocking them. Every transaction is a vote. Use it wisely. #BoycottGPay,” shared another user.

Similarly, consumer-led movements have begun to emerge across several countries. In Europe and Canada, boycotts of American products—from Tesla vehicles to everyday grocery items—are already underway. Black-star labeling campaigns and apps like “Maple Scan” have gained traction, helping shoppers avoid U.S.-made goods.

Trends like #BoycottUSA have surged on X and Google, illustrating increasing global frustration. Consumer forums and community groups are actively sharing alternative, locally-produced options.
