He says on a US made phone and computer, visiting a US website, using a currency tightly correlated to the US dollar, in a country which imports most of its services from the US, and he works in the services sector, or he works making goods which US consumers buy, speaking English out of necessity not just courtesy, in a country with a small defense budget, in a US military alliance, whose defense is ensured by US government institutions.
I’m using a Samsung phone. A lot of the software on my phone (especially the software I paid for with the phone) is made in South Korea. I don’t pay for a lot of apps, but the apps I paid for were made by developers from France, Spain, Japan, Austria/Germany, and the US, one each.
My computers are running Windows, sure, but my most used software would be Firefox, built by people from all over the world. Second place would probably belong to JetBrains Rider, made by a company headquartered in Czechia.

You choose your phone and computer for its software, which is all made in the US. Even if you use an Android phone, Android is made in the US. Samsung software is developed by Samsung US in San Francisco Bay Area. I can’t believe how many people don’t get this.
