A clash is emerging between the White House and Amazon as press secretary Karoline Leavitt accused the retail giant of political opposition. She referenced a report from Punchbowl News suggesting Amazon would display costs of tariffs next to products, an idea that would highlight the impact of President Trump's tariff policies rather than attributing costs to China. Amazon's spokesman denied this, asserting no such plan was being seriously considered. The exchange is intensified by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos's connections to political discourse, underscoring increasing tensions in trade policy and corporate transparency.
Karoline Leavitt accused Amazon of being hostile and political, noting that the company considered revealing tariff-related price increases to clarify costs to consumers.
Amazon's Ty Rogers denied the idea of displaying import charges was under serious consideration, insisting no implementation occurred on their main site.
