White House Slams Amazon Over Tariff Transparency Plan

White House Condemns Amazon's Tariff Transparency Plan as 'Hostile and Political' Washington, D.C. – In a surprising turn of events, the White House has launched a scathing attack against Amazon, accusing the e-commerce giant of engaging in a "hostile and political act." The criticism stems from reports that Amazon was planning to display the impact of tariffs on product prices. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon. Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?" Her comments followed a report by Punchbowl News detailing Amazon's alleged plans. Amazon swiftly denied ever considering adding tariff-related price increases to its main website but said its Amazon Haul platform was considering listing import price duties on certain products. This clarification, however, did little to quell the White House's concerns. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent added context, emphasizing the administration's efforts to combat inflation. He pointed to recent decreases in mortgage rates and energy prices as evidence of progress. He argued that deregulation would further boost consumer purchasing power. The incident highlights the ongoing tension between the White House and large corporations, particularly amid concerns about inflation and economic policy. The White House's strong reaction suggests a broader political strategy aimed at influencing public perception of Amazon and the administration's handling of economic issues. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected.
