Why buying from EU not from small businesses? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have a genuine question about this movement. Small businesses and startups aren’t the problem. Why “buy from EU” instead of “stop buying from big corporations” regardless of their countries? Small businesses (from anywhere) cannot absorb the rising costs and tariffs, and they are struggling.

No, it is indeed Europe vs. USA — we have no choice but to face the new realities the current Trump administration created. The tariffs will come, regardless of how many US citizens oppose them. The grab to Greenland and Canada is also very real and is not changed by the opinion of Trump‘s opponents.

We have to fight back, if we want it or not.
