An angry President Donald Trump called Jeff Bezos to complain about reports that Amazon was considering displaying the cost of US tariffs next to prices for certain products on the company’s website. Punchbowl News first reported that Amazon will soon “display how much of an item’s cost is derived from tariffs — right next to the product’s total listed price.” The move could directly illustrate to American consumers how Trump’s tariffs are affecting the cost of goods. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the move a “hostile and political act.” Amazon later said the move “was never a consideration for the main Amazon site and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties.” 00:00 INTRODUCTION00:20 AMAZON ACCUSED OF A ‘POLITICAL HIT JOB’01:14 TARIFFS GO PUBLIC, OR DO THEY?02:58 TARIFFS BITE, AMERICANS FEEL THE HEAT04:01 THE AMAZON HAUL ANGLEn18oc_world n18oc_crux
