White House Blasts Amazon For 'Hostile And Political Act' Amid Confusion Over Tariff Pricing
HuffPost
The Jeff Bezos-owned retailer said it was considering listing "import charges" on products on its bargain bin site, Amazon Haul.
The White House has called Amazon’s plans to include the cost of tariffs on the price tag for some products a “hostile and political act.”
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted the online retail giant at a press briefing on Tuesday when asked about the Punchbowl News story.
“I just got off the phone with the president about Amazon’s announcement,” Leavitt told reporters. “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.”
Punchbowl News reported that the retailer will show the amount tariffs have added to the price of an item next to its total price.
But an Amazon statement, reported by The Washington Post, said listing “import charges” was only being considered for Amazon Haul, its site for ultra-cheap products created to compete with Chinese rivals such as Temu and Shein.
