Jeff Bezos slams White House for calling on gas stations to cut prices

Jeff Bezos is sparring with the White House over the cause of high gas prices, with the world's second-richest person expressing opposition to a tweet from President Joe Biden that called on fuel companies to cut prices.

Bezos took issue with a July 2 tweet from Mr. Biden that told "the companies running gas stations and setting prices at the pump" to "[b]ring down the price you are charging at the pump to reflect the cost you're paying for the product. And do it now."

Responding to Biden's message, Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com, took aim at the President's blaming corporations.
