"Leavitt did not seem to think Amazon was justified in potentially joining those other companies, though. Speaking on behalf of Trump, she described it as "a hostile and political act by Amazon.""

The effects of Trump's tariffs are beginning to hit consumers and corporations, particularly Amazon, which has reportedly suffered under the 145% tariffs on China. Amid speculation that Amazon might display tariff costs to inform customers, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized this potential move as "a hostile and political act by Amazon." Despite Jeff Bezos' previous support for Trump, the administration's stance shows that allegiance may not guarantee protection from tariffs and political backlash. This situation raises concerns about how tariffs are ultimately affecting consumers and corporate strategies.
