President Trump called Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to express anger over reports that Amazon was considering displaying tariff costs on products. The White House labeled the potential move a "hostile and political act." Amazon denied the plan for its main site, stating it was only considered for its Haul website, and was never implemented. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also cited a past report alleging a partnership between Amazon and a Chinese propaganda arm. Despite past praise for Bezos, Trump's actions reflect concerns about tariff costs impacting consumers.
