HMD could be mentioned in electronics, they're Finnish and they make smartphones. The CPUs in some of their phones are from Unisoc who are Chinese; maybe some people would want to know that. In their other phones they use Qualcomm CPUs, and Qualcomm are American.
Also there are more alternatives to American goods/services outside of Europe, e.g. goods/services from places like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Canada, New Zealand.
E.g. South Korean cars (Hyundai and Kia) or Taiwanese electronics (Asus, Acer, MSI).

  Yeah but the point of "Buy European" isn't just anti-American. It's to you know...Buy European. You defeat the purpose when you go buy something built in Asia.
  
  True the point of this community is to buy European. I'm in Europe (the UK) so I like the idea of buying European.
  OP's post talked about boycotting the USA though, so I'm just saying that there are more options as well as European ones if you want to boycott the USA.
  Also the countries I mentioned have relatively similar values to Europe.
- he CPUs in some of their phones are from Unisoc who are Chinese
  AFAIK you can't make a phone without some Chinese components.
  
  I wonder if that's true, maybe it is. I wonder if Samsung phones have Chinese parts. I think they use Samsung or Qualcomm CPUs, and they're made in Vietnam and India rather than China. Maybe some parts are Chinese, they could well be.
  
  China rules the rare earth market. Pretty much everything that has rare earths (like chips) is connected to China somewhere in the production process.
  
  I see, I didn't know that.
