In a recent rally, President Trump claimed the inflation crisis is ending, yet corporate leaders foresee growing challenges from tariffs that could disrupt supply chains and impact prices. Amid these pressures, companies wrestle with the choice of whether to inform customers about tariff-induced price hikes or risk offending the administration. Following a report that Amazon considered openly discussing these price impacts, Trump expressed anger towards the company, further complicating how businesses might communicate price changes as they navigate a politically charged landscape.
Stifling price transparency could backfire on Trump, Paul Donovan, the chief economist for UBS Global Wealth Management, warned, as it prevents consumers from understanding the real cost of tariffs.
Amazon faced backlash after President Trump criticized its decision to potentially disclose how tariffs affect pricing, highlighting the dilemma companies face between transparency and political repercussions.
