    Start being politically active. Start the US down a road towards being a trade partner that can be trusted.

    There are vital elections later this year. Find out who the candidates are in the local areas. Offer your help to the one that you think will make the most change.

      This would be the most effective thing around. Actually buying european stuff (at least besides online-services) doesn’t make sense right now. Due to tariffs you’ll end up funding the current circus around there and in exchange you don’t really get a lot. Sure, some (but not all) of the EU made products are better than their US counterparts, but you don’t buy winter jackets, shoes or anything like that every day.

      If you really want to buy european stuff, be a part of change in your country and make it believable trade partner again and stop the orange clown with his circus. Then you’ll get better selection of our products with a cheaper price. And you don’t even really need to do that much. Just be active in your community, start a board game club or something and promote civil activism. And obviously go and vote to end this current madness, drag all your neighbors with you.
