Previously, she was a writer and editor at MUO.President Donald Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to complain after a Punchbowl News report suggested the online marketplace planned on displaying the cost of tariffs next to product prices. White House officials told CNN that Trump called Bezos “shortly after” receiving information about the report.Before Amazon publicly commented on the report, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called Amazon’s rumored move a “hostile and political act” during a press briefing on Tuesday.Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle later told The Verge that Amazon only “considered” adding the tariff breakdown to items sold within Haul, a hub for ultracheap products shipped directly from manufacturers in China.RelatedAmerica is living in tariff limboAmazon has no choice but to display tariffs on prices now“The team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products,” Doyle said. “This was never approved and is not going to happen.” Amazon has also published the statement on its website.Trump’s sweeping tariffs apply an up to 145 percent fee on products imported from China, and affected retailers like Shein and Temu have already responded by raising their prices. Some Amazon sellers with products made in China are trying to stretch the existing inventory they have in US warehouses, while others are backing out of Prime Day in response to increased costs.See More: AmazonNewsPolicyPoliticsTechMore in this streamSee allAmazon has no choice but to display tariffs on prices nowNilay PatelTwo hours agoCommentsComment Icon BubbleWhite House calls Amazon ‘hostile’ after report says it will label tariff price hikesEmma Roth1:57 PM UTCCommentsComment Icon BubbleEmpty shelves.Dominic Preston11:52 AM UTCCommentsComment Icon BubbleMost PopularMost PopularDuolingo will replace contract workers with AINew Starlink subscription drops hardware price to $0The $20,000 American-made electric pickup with no paint, no stereo, and no touchscreenThe DJI Phantom is no moreNothing’s second modular phone reinvents the rulesInstallerA weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.
