Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump, once unlikely allies, are experiencing growing tensions as Amazon plans to highlight tariff costs in product pricing. This move contradicts the administration's stance on tariffs not affecting consumers. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned Amazon's actions, implying a lack of patriotism and a shift towards supporting domestic manufacturing. She questioned Amazon's motives given past inflation issues linked to the Biden administration. Despite backlash, Amazon later clarified that such details would only appear on a discount-oriented site, distancing itself from direct confrontation with the government.
"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon. Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?" - Karoline Leavitt
"We're onshoring critical supply chains here at home to shore up our own critical supply chain and boost our own manufacturing here." - Karoline Leavitt
