- danans 2y agoAssuming law-following (which I realize the current administration doesn't care about), that agency's authority doesn't apply: "These authorities discourage, and in some circumstances, prohibit U.S. companies from taking certain actions in furtherance or support of a boycott maintained by a foreign country against a country friendly to the United States (unsanctioned foreign boycott)." So it's about US companies and foreign governments, not individual consumers purchase decisions

One of the biggest hammers to the hypothetical boycott is this office which effectively criminalizes any company from partaking (going so far as to have to prove they considered the boycotted party for all deals / contracts / purchases / etc.)
