“White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Amazon’s reported plan to display the breakdown of how much tariffs are adding to the price of each good as a ‘hostile and political act’ on Tuesday. Amazon’s plan exposes the growing rift between businesses and President Trump who has made aggressive tariffs and a global trade war central to his economic agenda. Trump’s massive 145% tariffs on [American buyers of] Chinese imports will hit Amazon hard because 60% of its sales come from smaller, independent retailers often heavily reliant on imports. Punchbowl reported Tuesday that Amazon will soon show how much of an item’s cost is due to tariffs next to the total listed price.” [editor’s note: Unfortunately, Amazon has since denied that it plans to share that information – TLK] (04/29/25)
