White House Condemns Amazon’s Tariff Cost Display as ’Hostile Act’

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized the e-commerce giant’s decision to show import duty costs alongside product prices as a politically motivated maneuver.
This clash emerges as multinational corporations grapple with the administration’s sweeping 10% tariff increase on allied nations—a policy branded as ’Liberation Day’ measures. Amazon’s transparency initiative now positions the tech behemoth as an unlikely antagonist in the ongoing trade policy debate.
