A majority of Canadian consumers said they’ve pulled back on buying US-made products and are shopping less on Amazon.com Inc. since US President Donald Trump escalated his threats against Canada.

Two-thirds of those surveyed said they bought fewer American items from stores in past weeks, with 55% ordering less from Amazon, according to a poll from Leger Marketing, a Canadian public opinion research firm. Spokespeople for Amazon did not reply to emails requesting comment.
