WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump called Amazon Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos on Tuesday morning to complain about a report that the company planned to display prices showing the impact of tariffs, according to multiple media outlets.
Amazon denied the story from Punchbowl News, stating that it never considered listing tariff prices on its main retail site and had not put any such plan into place.
The controversy arose from a report suggesting Amazon would show the impact of tariffs on product prices. However, Amazon clarified that there was no truth to this report.
This incident highlights the ongoing tension between the Trump administration and major tech companies. The issue of tariffs has been a significant point of contention, with various companies expressing concerns about their impact on business operations.
