KEY POINTS

  • The White House slammed Amazon for reportedly planning to display the cost of Trump’s tariffs next to the total price of products on its site.
  • “This is hostile and political act by Amazon,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
  • Shares of the retail giant founded by Jeff Bezos dropped in premarket trading following the remarks.
  • About 70% of products sold by the company are made in China. Trump slapped tariffs as high as 145% on imports from that country.
