Summary
The White House criticized Amazon's alleged intent to display tariff costs, labeling it a political attack. However, Jeff Bezos confirmed they won't show such costs after Trump intervened. The White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt, condemned Bezos, asserting Amazon's actions represented a hostile political act. She questioned their transparency about price changes since Biden’s administration. Amazon clarified that only preliminary discussions about showing tariff charges occurred, specifically for the Haul sub-store, but this was never approved. Amid escalating tensions, retailers like Temu and Shein face rising tariffs, deepening the friction between the tech giant and the administration.
