Sorry, not an economist: wouldn’t be better for Europe to spend less on digital services provided by US companies? I thought that was the point of the whole movement, but as I said, I’m really not that knowledgeable about macro economics .
Motivations behind actions matter. Reducing trade with the US may have several justifications. Among these are to “balance a trade deficit” and “to isolate America financially”.
So, while the actions taken to reduce trade with the US may be the same for both justifications, there is a distinction to be made as to the justification for said actions.

In the meantime, I edited the title

I see. Well, I hope the current title is neutral enough, if not feel free to suggest another one
Nah man. You’re good. Just trying to explain and be helpful.
Thanks!
