Sure, for as long as that idiot is in the White House.

For starters, let's stop buying anything from Amazon and use UK suppliers only.
Here's a few  other businesses/services  we could easily do without:-

Google ( use Qwant instead)
Paypal ( use Wise, Revolut or Skrill - all UK based)
eBay ( use Vinted)
Tesla (plenty of alternatives)
Apple ( Samsung with Android is better value)
Cadburys (USA owned since 2010)

here are a few other brands we could easily find alternatives
 

• Procter & Gamble (P&G): (Gillette, Pampers, Ariel, Pantene, Tide).
• PepsiCo: (Pepsi, Frito-Lay, Quaker Oats, Gatorade).
• Coca-Cola Company: (Coca-Cola, Dasani, Minute Maid).
• Kraft Heinz: (Heinz Ketchup, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Oscar Mayer).
• Campbell Soup Company: (Campbell's Soups, Pepperidge Farm).

Don't forget Netflix. A few weeks ago, the US issued a security strategy document warning of Europe's "civilisational erasure" due to immigration. Britain's culture however faces a greater threat from the more subtle influence of American entertainment promoting American values and the American way of life, a kind of "Netflixisation". There are many people who are happy to pay a Netflix subscription but refuse to pay the BBC license fee, so money goes into making more American entertainment while depriving the necessary investment into British programming.

I wonder at the timing of the issue of the US demand for Greenland becoming news again and can't help but think it is partly a Trump misdirection of Europe's attention from the dreadful events in Minesota and elsewhere in the US. Putin of course would love it if there was conflict between the US and Europe.
