WASHINGTON, April 29 – 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 implemented any such plans.
The controversy began when Punchbowl News reported that Amazon was planning to show the impact of tariffs on prices. However, Amazon clarified that this report was inaccurate and that they had no intention of displaying such information.
The call from Trump to Bezos highlights the tense relationship between the U.S. administration and major tech companies. Amazon, being one of the largest ecommerce platforms, frequently finds itself at the center of such discussions regarding pricing strategies and regulatory compliance.
