White House Slams Amazon’s Tariff Transparency as ’Political Warfare’

Amazon’s move to expose tariff costs sparks fury in DC—because nothing terrifies bureaucrats like sunlight on their protectionist schemes.

Tech giant’s pricing transparency cuts through political fog, revealing the real winners of trade wars (spoiler: it’s never consumers).

Bonus finance jab: Meanwhile, Wall Street quietly hedges its bets with crypto—because even they know fiat trade wars are a rigged casino.

White House Calls Out Amazon for Displaying Tariff Costs Next to Product’s Price

Since early April, the global economy has been dealing with the fallout of the United States’ policy shift toward balanced trade. Indeed, the nation has introduced America-first policies that levied major import taxes on all countries. The move has increased geopolitical tensions, with a US-China trade war on the brink of actualization.

That tariff plan has created tension within the current administration and US businesses. Specifically, the White House has said that Amazon’s decision to show the cost of tariffs on products is a “hostile and political act.” In a press briefing, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not mince words in her response to the action.

“This is a hostile and political act by Amazon,” Leavitt said Tuesday, according to a CNBC report. “Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden Administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” she added.

“This is another reason why Americans should buy American,” Leavitt concluded. Additionally, the tariffs have created a conflict between the White House and the Senate. Indeed, US President Trump has threatened to veto a Senate resolution that would end the global tariffs, Fox News reported. Indeed, the publication reported the president would veto the measure even if it received bipartisan support.
