President Trump stated that after speaking with Jeff Bezos regarding Amazon's plan to display tariff costs, Bezos quickly agreed to remove such charges from product listings. Trump characterized Bezos as cooperative, mentioning their relationship. Meanwhile, the White House condemned the tariff display plan as 'hostile and political,' amidst an environment where many billionaires, including Bezos, have seen their wealth decline substantially post-election. Trump also emphasized his preference for domestic production to circumvent tariffs.
"He's just a very nice guy, we have a relationship. I asked him about it, he said, 'Well, I don't want to do that,' and he took it off immediately."
"I want them to build plants in the United States. That way, they don't have any tariffs."
"The White House's press secretary called it a 'hostile and political act.'"
"In the first 100 days of Trump's second term, some of the richest people in the US have taken massive hits to their net worths."
