Does boycotting US medication benefit Egypt?
Several Egyptian companies have called on citizens to boycott American pharmaceutical companies in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
CAIRO — US President Donald Trump’s Dec. 6 decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US Embassy there sparked calls to boycott American products in Egypt.
Al-Azhar was the first to launch such calls. In a Dec. 9 press statement, Al-Azhar Undersecretary Abbas Shouman called on citizens to boycott American and Israeli products in response to Trump’s decision.
