White House Slams Amazon for Displaying Tariff Costs

The White House has criticized Amazon’s decision to display the cost of tariffs imposed under President Trump’s trade policies alongside product prices, calling the move “hostile and political.” Officials argue the approach could influence consumer behavior and frame the tariffs in a negative light.

“This is a hostile and political act by Amazon. Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest levels in 40 years?” press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at the White House.

Amazon’s plan would make tariff-related costs more visible to shoppers, potentially affecting purchasing decisions. Other e-commerce platforms such as Shein and Temu have also responded to the tariffs by adjusting their pricing structures—Temu recently added an import fee at checkout.

Leavitt also pointed to a Reuters report alleging Amazon worked with a Chinese propaganda outlet to censor user reviews on its Chinese website, underscoring the administration’s emphasis on promoting American-made goods and bringing key industries back to the U.S.

Tensions between President Trump and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos continue to simmer, as Bezos’ net worth has reportedly dropped by $30 billion this year, partly due to the impact of tariff policies.
