change default country on shipping estimate drop down in cart -- Pipeline Theme

[Redroot_Blades]

Hi Folks, 

When you add a product to the cart, and it slides out (drawer style), there is a shipping estimator at the bottom. The default country is Afghanistan. I'd like it to be United States. Here is the piece of code I found  in the "cart-shipping.liquid" page:

<div class="p">
<label class="small" for="estimate_address_country">{{ 'customer.addresses.country' | t }}</label>
<select id="estimate_address_country"
name="address[country]"
{% if shop.customer_accounts_enabled and customer %}
data-default="{{ customer.default_address.country_code }}"
data-default-fullname="{{ customer.default_address.country }}"
{% elsif default_country != '' %}
data-default="{{ default_country.iso_code }}"
data-default-fullname="{{ default_country }}"
{% endif %}></select>
</div>

Can the " {% elsif default_country != '' %} " somehow display United States? 

With the inspector, I found " <option value="US">United States</option> " . Could I somehow select this option to display in the elsif situation above? 

Thanks for looking,

Dustin

Hi @Redroot_Blades,

Base on the code you provided, you can probably use this edited code below. NOTE: Please change the select element only. It seems your code has multiple element missing

<select id="estimate_address_country"
name="address[country]"
{% if shop.customer_accounts_enabled and customer %}
data-default="{{ customer.default_address.country_code }}"
data-default-fullname="{{ customer.default_address.country }}"
{% else %}
data-default="US"
data-default-fullname="United States"
{% endif %}></select>
