In India, Trump's tariffs spark calls to boycott American goods From McDonald's and Coca-Cola to Amazon and Apple, U.S.-based multinationals are facing calls for a boycott in India as business executives and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's supporters stoke anti-American sentiment to protest against U.S. tariffs.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:
