President Donald Trump recently commended Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, for putting a stop to a proposed measure that aimed to display U.S. tariff costs alongside product listings, as reported by AFP.
The controversy began after Punchbowl News revealed that Amazon’s Haul store had considered showcasing the additional costs that Trump-imposed tariffs added to imported goods. This sparked a swift backlash from the White House, which described the action as “political.”
Trump, who allegedly spoke directly with Bezos, expressed his approval to reporters, calling the Amazon founder “terrific” and stating he “did the right thing” by halting the initiative.
While Amazon did not explicitly refute the initial report, it clarified that the idea was still under consideration and had never received final approval, meaning it would not proceed.
The issue arose as the Trump administration celebrated its first 100 days in office, defending its trade strategies against critics who contend that tariffs inflate costs for American consumers. The president has implemented broad import duties, including a 10% base tariff on various nations and significantly higher rates on China.
In a related development, UPS announced a plan to eliminate 20,000 jobs worldwide, citing a decline in business from Amazon amid changing trade conditions. The delivery service attributed the job cuts to a slowdown in international commerce, a trend many analysts associate with the rise in tariffs.
This incident underscores the delicate nature of Trump’s trade policies and their ramifications for businesses and consumers alike. Although the Amazon labeling issue has been resolved, the ongoing debate regarding who ultimately bears the burden of tariffs—businesses or consumers—continues to be a contentious aspect of U.S. economic policy.
