Simply put, this is when a character kisses another character farewell, but refuses to admit it's romantic, blaming the influence of a foreign nation.
In a lot of Anime or Manga, when a female 'American' character leaves to go back to Eagleland because she wants her beloved to be happy, or for some other reason, and has not yet told him that she likes him, she will give him a passionate kiss farewell—and then deny that it was romantic by claiming that "That's the way Americans say goodbye."
This is, of course, utter nonsense. The American way of saying goodbye to a platonic friend is a handshake, a wave, a hug or at most a peck on the cheek.
While some countries do use the 'goodbye kiss', it is almost always on the cheek (or one on each). But in a manga, the only foreigners who claim that mouth-to-mouth is a proper farewell are called American. In American films, such a kiss goodbye is usually attributed to Europe. For cases where kissing (farewell or otherwise) actually is non-romantic, see Platonic Kissing.

WandaVision: Vision brings his boss Mr. Hart and his wife over for dinner. Wanda mistakes Mr. Hart for Vision, sneaks up behind him and covers his eyes while flirtatiously asking "guess who?". When Mr. Hart demands to know what she's doing, Vision covers for her by claiming it's a traditional Sokovian way of greeting one's guests. At the end of the evening Mrs. Hart pauses behind Wanda and covers her eyes while thanking her for the meal.

In the manga, Challengers, Kurokawa kisses Tomoe as he's leaving on the train. When they meet again, Tomoe asks him if it was because he had an American step-father at one point. Kurokawa grudgingly says yes, the kiss was just an American goodbye.

Farscape. In "I, E.T.", John Crichton gives a farewell kiss on the cheek to an alien woman. Her reaction implies it's a bit too intimate for her culture.

In We Never Learn, Uruka kisses Nariyuki on the lips right before telling him she's going to a foreign university after graduating high school, claiming she was just practicing the "foreign goodbye". It's revealed shortly after that she actually believed it was a foreign thing until told otherwise by her friends.

Happens at the end of Shin's good ending in Morenatsu. Shin, who's half-French, kisses the player character goodbye as he leaves town, to the shock of everyone else present. It's played with, however, since Shin actually knows exactly what he's doing; he and the player character are in a Secret Relationship, and Shin pretended it was this trope to deliberately screw with their friends' heads as a joke.

Ali Hakim in the musical Oklahoma! gives Ado Annie what he calls a "Persian Goodbye" (dipping her back into a kiss) in front of her new fiance Will Parker, and when Ado Annie asks for another Persian Goodbye, her fiance surprises her with an even more dramatic "Oklahoma Hello".

When Lolita gets something in her eye, Humbert tells her of a technique Swiss peasants use to remove it, by licking the eyeball. He then proceeds to do so. On both eyes.

In the Friends episode "The One with all the Kissing", Chandler gave his (secret) girlfriend Monica a kiss as he left her place; then they both realized what he did, so he quickly kissed Phoebe and Rachel, too. When this happened for a second time, Monica claimed that it was probably a "European good-bye thing he picked up in London".

Boy With a Scar: Shanks always did this for Makino, and Luffy followed his example with both Dadan (making her faint) and Makino (to her delight). When he suggests that Usopp do it for Kaya and explains his reasoning, Zoro laughs, Nami Face Palms, and Usopp and Kaya both blush. And though Nami tries to prevent it from happening to Nojiko, her efforts lead to Nojiko kissing him instead.
