Amazon to show tariff costs on each product, WH calls move 'hostile and political'

Amazon will show the tariff costs on each product for customers to see how prices are increased.

The move was reported early Tuesday morning by Punchbowl News. 

The Trump administration responded to Amazon's decision during a White House press briefing later in the morning.

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had just spoken to President Donald Trump about the Amazon announcement and that his message about it was: "This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," according to Reuters.

The e-commerce company is hoping to escape the blame for increased prices from President Trump's tariffs, Punchbowl also reported.

Each product will show how much of its cost is from tariffs, next to the total listed price.
