Trump calls Bezos as Amazon says no plan to show tariff price rises
Donald Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to complain about the plan, which the company said had been rejected.

"Trump calls Bezos as Amazon says no plan to show tariff price rises"
"
US President Donald Trump has called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos after it was reported that the retail giant planned to detail the cost of trade tariffs to its customers.
Amazon said it had looked into itemising the impact for shoppers using Amazon Haul, a low-cost site it launched in the US last year to compete with Shein and Temu.
But it said it had decided not to move forward and the idea had never been under consideration for its main platform.
The White House decision to go on the attack over the report is an indication of the pressure it is facing over its new import taxes, which analysts say will lead to higher prices for consumers and increase the chances of a recession.
At a news conference marking the president's first 100 days in office on Tuesday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had discussed Amazon's reported move with the president and argued it represented "another reason why Americans should buy American".
"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," she said. "Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?""
Apparently it's a "hostile.... act" for Amazon to tell customers how much more they have to pay for their products as a direct result of Trump's policy.
Wow, this man is fragile, he literally can't cope with people understanding about his policies. Can't be very confident in his own policies then...
