Trump Praises Bezos After Amazon Tariff Dispute

A brief controversy emerged when Amazon considered displaying U.S. tariff costs on its product prices in response to President Trump's new tariff policies. The White House, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt labeling the idea a 'hostile and political act,' swiftly condemned the potential move, and President Trump personally called Jeff Bezos to object. Amazon clarified that the plan was only discussed for its Haul store and would not be implemented, with Bezos reportedly resolving the issue soon after the call. Trump then publicly praised Bezos for reversing course, calling him 'terrific' and 'a good guy.' The incident has drawn scrutiny from lawmakers, with Senator Elizabeth Warren raising concerns about potential corruption and lack of transparency regarding tariff costs for consumers. The episode highlights ongoing tensions between big tech and the Trump administration amid economic uncertainty over trade policies.
