Trump, Bezos Clash Over Amazon Tariff Disclosure Plans

A report suggesting Amazon would start displaying the impact of tariffs on product prices sparked a public clash between the company and the Trump administration. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the alleged move as 'a hostile and political act,' reflecting broader tensions between President Trump and Amazon over trade policy. Amazon strongly denied the report, stating it never intended to implement such a measure, despite other retailers introducing similar tariff surcharges. President Trump reportedly contacted Jeff Bezos directly over the issue, but later publicly praised Bezos for doing 'the right thing' after the company distanced itself from the report. This episode highlights the fraught relationship between Amazon and the Trump administration, particularly in the context of Trump's steep tariffs on Chinese imports and ongoing scrutiny of major tech companies.
