I suspect a lot of non-US buyers feel the same.
According to Trek, about 60% of their bikes, parts, and accessories are sold in other countries. For all we know, it may be that Trek still enjoys some of the same kind of appeal in Europe that European bike brands have had in this country for decades.
Tariff blowback may affect that, of course. Or may not, depending on how the current situation shakes out.
