The White House took aggressive aim at Amazon following a report that it would display the added cost of President Donald Trump’s tariffs on items.At a briefing Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the reported move a “hostile and political act,” adding that she had spoken about the matter with Trump earlier.Punchbowl News reported that Amazon would soon “display how much of an item’s cost is derived from tariffs — right next to the product’s total listed price.”The company said the team that runs the Amazon store considered listing import charges on certain products, but that nothing has been decided."This was never approved and is not going to happen," Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle said in a statement to Hearst Television. Other e-commerce websites, like Shein and Temu, have said they implemented changes to their pricing due to the cost of tariffs. Temu has even introduced a new import charge that is displayed at checkout. Both companies source most of their products from China.Amazon shares fell about 1% in early trading.Leavitt on Tuesday also cited a Reuters report from 2021 about an alleged partnership between Amazon and a “Chinese propaganda arm” that censored user reviews on its Chinese website for President Xi Jinping’s speeches and writings.She said that was “another reason why Americans should buy American,” adding that “it’s another reason why we are onshoring critical supply chains here at home, to shore up our own critical supply chain and boost our own manufacturing here.”Leavitt declined to say what the move portended for the relationship between Trump and billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Bezos has actively worked to cultivate a relationship with the president in his second term, congratulating him on his November election and dining at the White House.Amazon donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund and is producing a documentary focused on first lady Melania Trump.Trump recently praised Bezos, telling The Atlantic in an interview published Monday: “He’s 100 percent. He’s been great.”Bezos’ net worth has declined by $30 billion since the start of this year, according to Bloomberg Billionaire Index, partly as a result of Trump’s tariff policies and a decline in the stock market.
