I want to avoid paying american credit card processor fees. Because their leadership is being hostile to their neighbours.

The payment processors Mastercard, Visa, Discover and American Express are all american. I would prefer supporting the economies of friendly european countries instead.

Wise maybe?
Don't think it fully fits your request since I don't think they are a true credit card company.
However, they are a UK-based company and they perform transactions by having money buffers in each country they operate in. So I suppose their money streams are at least a bit more separate from the US than a traditional credit card company?

Wise cards are still Visa though
