      Is this where citizens start an initiative to stop buying US goods for national security? I’d sign it in a heartbeat.

        I don’t think so. But right now we’re trying to encourage people to buy European as much as possible.

          Are there any bulk suppliers or retail owners in this community? In particular fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are a major element in almost everybody’s life and can be used to send a very strong signal. Imagine if all rural stores in a particular area started only selling European stuff. We need those providers here and have a solid business plan for them to adopt such goods, it needs to be economically feasible

            I’m not sure if we have such individuals. Though I do like the idea.

            We’re currently highlighting the European brands that do exist so we can increase the demand from the bottom up, to increase the pressure on our representatives and large companies to buy local.

      Rutte seems like the typical right wing little bitch. He’ll bow to Putin and Trump every chance he gets. A terrible choice for Secretary General.

    Time for mass protests. European citizen should force their governments to change their decision and have Europe build more of it’s own weapons, and not have a trade deal.

    It’s just assumed that some American military equipment will be bought. It isn’t explicitly agreed that they’ll buy American.
