Oof, as an American company the rest of the world is boycotting them too.

Yup, they are toast. I dont think the Americans have realized how much permanent damage Trump has caused.

"Many economists are saying that the market was due for a correction..."

I've seen that comment a few times in the last few days. They'll say ANYTHING to support Dear Leader.

Not only boycotts, it'll also be a prime target for retaliatory tariffs. So for even those that don't care about the boycott, a Roomba will cost at least 25% more than the equivalent robot vacuum made in Korea.
