Media reported that Amazon's display of tariff cost changes in orders made Trump angry.
The White House press secretary called it a "hostile and political act." Subsequently, Amazon quickly issued a statement saying, "The company has never considered listing tariffs on its main retail website, nor implemented any measures on any company websites." "The team operating the ultra-low-price Amazon Haul store had considered listing import fees for some products. However, this was never approved and will not happen."
A source told the media that Trump personally called Bezos on Tuesday morning to express his dissatisfaction with the initial report, which triggered a strong reaction from the White House. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Amazon's statement a "wise move" in an X post.
--------------------
Trump's position is clear: tariffs can increase prices, but don't tell Americans it's because of his tariffs. If Americans could be told that the price increase is due to Biden, that would be even better.
