Amazon Stock Tanks After White House Accuses It of “Hostile and Political Act”
$AMZN -2% | Trade war tension rising
Today, the White House slammed Amazon for allegedly planning to show Trump’s tariff costs next to product prices — a move that could expose how U.S. consumers, not China, are bearing the brunt of tariffs.
Karoline Leavitt, WH press secretary, fired shots:
“Why didn’t Amazon do this during Biden’s inflation crisis?”
Meanwhile:
Over 70% of Amazon’s products come from China
Sellers are hiking prices on items like toys, electronics & household goods
A study showed an average 29% price increase on 930 popular items
Shein & Temu also added “import charges” at checkout (up to 145%!)
Political heat rising between Trump & Bezos, with Amazon caught in the crossfire.
$AMZN is down 15% YTD, and the drama could fuel more volatility.
What’s next for Big Tech under Trump's trade policies?
Watch the charts, not just the headlines.
