🚨Tensions Rise: Trump vs. Amazon Over Tariff Transparency🚨
President Donald Trump reportedly called Jeff Bezos directly after learning that Amazon was considering showing the impact of U.S. tariffs on product prices.
The White House labeled the idea a “hostile and political act,” while Amazon clarified that it was never intended for the main site, though it had been briefly considered for Haul, a platform for low-cost products.
Trump’s administration has imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese imports and a 10% minimum tariff globally. Displaying these costs could make consumers more aware of how much tariffs affect final prices.
This clash adds a layer of uncertainty for investors. Political pushback against corporate transparency can be seen as regulatory instability—something that markets tend to react to with caution. Amazon shares already dropped about 1% following the news.
Transparency for consumers or political risk for business?
