The report that Amazon is considering displaying tariff costs on its platform created immediate tension at the White House, especially as the administration was in office and defended its tariff policy. Trump confirms that personal call with Bezos Trump confirms a conversation with Bezos on the matter. Trump spoke to reporters and described the Amazon CEO as “very beautiful” and “great”, adding that Bezos solved the problem very quickly and that he was “a good guy”. “I called him, and we had a nice conversation. He did the right thing, ‘Trump said, referring to Amazon’s decision to abandon the plan. The remarks of the president are coming in the midst of growing concerns within the administration on the impact of tariffs on US consumers. Amazon responds to criticism Amazon responded quickly to the reports and issued a statement in which he made the situation clear. The company acknowledged that its low-cost Amazon Haul store “considered the idea of ​​listing import levies on certain products”. However, Amazon made it clear that the plan was never approved and would not move forward. “It has never been approved and is not going to happen,” Amazon said in his statement. The White House decides the plan as ‘hostile’. The plan made sharp criticism from the White House, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt calling it a ‘hostile and political act of Amazon’. Leavitt questions why Amazon did not implement a similar policy during the Biden Administration, which was not seen with inflation rates in four decades. “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden Administration moved inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt asked during a Tuesday briefing in Washington. Trump’s tariff policy and their impact Trump’s tariff policy was a dispute for critics, arguing that increased imports for imports eventually raise prices for US consumers. After accepting office, Trump imposed a 10% baseline rate on goods from most countries and included additional charges on a number of countries, including China. The administration also implemented sector -specific rates, which requested the retaliation of Beijing and other trading partners. Criticism of the plan of Trump’s advisers Top Trump adviser Stephen Miller also criticized the proposed tariff performance of Amazon. Miller spoke to Fox News and argued that many US consumers want to know where the products they purchased came from, adding: “Many US consumers want to buy products from America.” Miller’s remarks reflect concerns about the transparency of Amazon’s origin of the product, as well as broader criticism of foreign imports. Bezos and Amazon’s relationship with Trump Trump and Bezos had a complicated relationship, especially because of Trump’s regular criticism of the Washington Post, which Bezos owns. However, over the past few years, Bezos and Amazon seem to have tried to improve their relationship with Trump. Bezos made headlines by buying a documentary on First Lady Melania Trump for $ 40 million, contributing to Trump’s first fund, and even displaying episodes of Trump’s Reality Show The Apprentice on Amazon Prime video.
