Breaking News: Amazon Takes a Stand Against Trump's Tariffs On April 29th, Amazon announced that it would clearly display the amount of tariffs as a proportion of product prices, directly presenting to American consumers the impact of Trump's tariff policy on commodity prices. This move quickly caused a stir, with the White House launching a fierce attack on Amazon the same day. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt called this action "hostile and politically motivated." In reality, Amazon's approach is an inevitable move under the escalating trade war initiated by Trump, reflecting the significant impact of America's tariff policies on both businesses and consumers. Since Trump announced the implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" against trading partners in April 2025, the U.S. retail industry has been severely impacted, with Amazon being particularly affected. The additional tariff on China reached as high as 145%, significantly increasing the costs for many Amazon merchants who rely on Chinese imports. For example, Steve Green, who sells bicycles and skateboards on Amazon, stated that the tariffs have more than doubled the cost of his newly imported goods. He can no longer afford discounts during Prime Day and has decided to skip this year's event. Under these circumstances, Amazon's decision to disclose the price increase due to tariffs is not only a silent protest against Trump's tariff policy but also aims to help consumers understand the true cause of price hikes, preventing Amazon from becoming a scapegoat for consumer dissatisfaction. Essentially, Trump's tariff policy is a form of trade protectionism that fails to achieve its purported goal of "protecting American manufacturing and increasing American jobs." Instead, it has led to rising domestic prices and operational difficulties for businesses. CNBC reported that the CEOs of three major U.S. retailers, Walmart, Target, and Home Depot, met with Trump at the White House to discuss how the tariff policy affects their business models, indicating the severe impact of the tariff policy on the U.S. retail sector.
