The leak of an internal report from Amazon in which the possibility was considered that the online retail giant of Jeff Bezos would break down the impact of tariffs on the price of each product. Reactions from the White House quickly followed, and Trump himself picked up the phone to talk to Bezos.
An internal report from Amazon. The political firestorm began after the publication of an internal report by the American media outlet Punchbowl News. This internal document from Amazon considered the possibility of detailing in the final price of products the additional costs derived from tariffs, just as is done with taxes or shipping costs.
With this move, the company founded by Jeff Bezos was approaching the strategy of rivals like Shein and Temu, who plan to increase the prices of products shipped to the US as a consequence of tariffs on China and break down their costs.
