OPINION:
Amazon’s reported plan to post the tariff portion of the prices of its consumer products for sale on its website drew a sharp rebuke from the White House, which called the idea “a hostile and political act.”
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt asked why Amazon didn’t do this during the inflationary period of the Biden administration. Good point. The Biden administration also imposed tariffs on Chinese goods and during the 2024 campaign, it promised to impose even more, prompting then-candidate Donald Trump to proffer Kamala Harris a MAGA hat at the presidential debate.
