Summary

Denmark’s Salling Group, which owns major supermarket chains Bilka, Fotex, and Netto, is introducing a black star label on price tags to mark European-made products.

The move responds to growing Danish consumer anger over former U.S. President Donald Trump’s push to gain control of Greenland.

While the company denies it is boycotting U.S. goods, the labeling system allows shoppers to favor European brands.

Similar trends are emerging across Denmark and Europe amid broader anti-Trump sentiment and concerns over potential U.S.-EU trade conflicts.

    Many stores already have sections with Asian products and etc. So, it is in line with that policy.

      All of the labels in these stores are e-ink displays.

      Further, there actually are shelves with American goods, but surprisingly, goods that come from outside the EU are not limited to the US…
