And it gets better 🤣 they’re so mad….of course they don’t want consumers to know that it’s Trump raising prices on them but companies absolutely should do what Amazon is doing

[Quoted tweet]
The White House @PressSec says this is a "hostile and political act" by Amazon

All retailers should do the same. After all, it is not a tax placed by the retailer. Let's call it what it is.

NEW: Amazon will soon display the cost of Trump’s tariffs alongside the total price of products on its site.

WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed the move, calling it “a hostile and political act by Amazon.”🤡

@odinikaeze
They label transparency as “hostile,” because they already lost the argument.

Amazon isn’t being political—it’s telling consumers the truth Trump won’t: tariffs are taxes, and you’re the one paying them.

Accountability isn’t an attack. It’s a public service.

REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

Oh my!

So Trump is losing his billionaire friends and is bringing out the tried and tested 'it's a witch hunt' manoeuvre.

396% tariffs on all Amazon purchases from tomorrow.

Thanks to tariffs, Amazon’s “suggested products” now include do-it-yourself bankruptcy kits.

@CharlieRevillo
I don’t think it’s hostile. I think that’s a fair part of pricing important to know. And I hope it wakes people up to see how much is coming from China and how dependent we are on them.

**REPORTER:** Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?

**LEAVITT:** This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

**REPORTER:** Hostile? It’s called transparency. You raise the prices — they show the math. If you can’t defend the cost, maybe the problem isn’t the label. It’s your tariff policy.

**LEAVITT:** The administration believes these tariffs are necessary to protect American industry.

**REPORTER:** Then why hide the price tag? If it’s such a winning strategy, why does showing the truth suddenly feel like sabotage?

**LEAVITT:** These kinds of displays are designed to mislead the public.

**REPORTER:** No — they’re designed to remind Americans that "America First" came with an additional cost to them. And now you’re just upset someone kept it.



9/11
@MemberBlasts
No, KKKaroline - the "hostile and political act" was performed by Felon Trump.

Amazon simply displaying how much those hostile and political acts are affecting their customers' wallets is called "good business".

Nobody should blame Amazon for the higher costs. Blame Trump!

There's plenty of Made in USA products on Amazon so we can just avoid the tariffs at Amazon by buying Made in USA products on there. They will just be highlighting the products that aren't made here by posting it has a tariff.

What’s Bezos going to do now, give Trump more money? When Trump extorts you once, expect him to come back for more.

@ishiguro_ichiro
Price increases driven by tariff hikes should be carefully managed to prevent consumer backlash. Many buyers are likely to question whether price adjustments are justified, making it essential for sellers to maintain transparency to address potential concerns. This is not just a matter of Amazon; it’s a matter of all products and all sellers.

Whether or not tariff costs are explicitly displayed, both Amazon and third-party sellers must proactively communicate this information to consumers, especially as the pricing environment is expected to shift rapidly in the near future. Furthermore, the White House’s sharp and anxious reactions have amplified consumer worries about upcoming price increases. The more intensely the White House responds, the deeper public concern grows about the effects of tariffs — impacts that, much like indirect taxes, disproportionately burden lower-income households compared to higher-income ones.

Ultimately, avoiding surprise over the extent of price hikes will be difficult. The White House’s strong reactions indicate that they, too, recognize the seriousness of these potential impacts.

I want MAGA to tell me ONE GOOD REASON why Amazon should not put Tariff rates on each product.

I also call on ALL online and offline stores to do the same.

- Grocery stores
- Convenient stores
- Restaurants
- Drug stores
- Etsy
- Ebay
- Shopify

Let's do it. Transparency is GOOD

[Quoted tweet]
BREAKING: The White House completely loses it over Amazon announcing that they will put a “tariff price” next to every item they sell, depicting how much of the price of that good is the result of Trump’s tariffs.

Karoline Leavitt says “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon. Why did Amazon do this… It’s not a surprise because Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm.”

Americans have a right to know. It's not political. It's logical!

For being transparent or because Trump's tariffs are making their products unaffordable?

@SuckaFreeFool
They can do whatever they want.

However, explain why they didn't do that when inflation was out of freakingcontrol.

That was due to exorbitant unnecessary spending by the Biden administration, by the way.
That is 💯 undeniable.



7/11
@krassenstein
Because one man didn't singlehandedly cause inflation. Inflation was global and caused by supply and demand shocks. The trade war was sparked by our country only.

@DeLo_77
Is this the same @amazon that raises their prices a week before PRIME DAY so that they can then lower them back and show a discount during PRIME DAY? Yes for the people!

You still aren't answering my question? Why deflect to a completely unrelated topic?



10/11
@MrAustinRogers
BRIAN, WHY DIDN'T AMAZON PUT ON A "INFLATION LABEL" WHEN BIDEN RAISED INFLATION BY 40% IN 4 YEARS?



11/11
@krassenstein
Inflation was a global problem that was the result of supply and demand shocks from COVID. Tariffs are a direct result of Trump's idiotic trade policies.

I'll entertain Amazon being straightforward and stirring the pot. Ali and Temu have the "Extra Charges" or whatever, but it should be labeled as "Tariffs" since that's what it is. :ehh:

New report from me and @Groundwork on Trump’s broken promise to lower prices on day one. Instead, he has chosen to put the country on the path to stagflation despite plenty of warning that his campaign tariff promises could wreck the economy

Consumer surveys show that the American people understand what the President is really doing and don’t believe his talk of a new golden age. And prices are starting to climb for some critical good, including breakfast staples

China cancels 12,000 metric tons of US pork shipments​


Filip Timotija

2–3 minutes



China canceled 12,000 metric tons of United States pork shipments amid a high-stakes trade standoff between the superpowers, according to data released Thursday.

China, one of the biggest U.S. trading partners, axed 12,000 metric tons of U.S. pork orders, the data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows.

The move represents the biggest cancellation of pork orders since the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains and stalled economies around the world, Bloomberg News reported.

China, behind Mexico and Japan, was the U.S.’s third-biggest market for pork in 2024, importing some 475,000 metric tons valued at more than $1.1 billion.

China is the world’s biggest producer of pork, accounting for nearly 50 percent of global supply at around 57 million metric tons, according to the USDA. The U.S. was ranked third at 11 percent with 12 million metric tons.

President Trumpshook the global trading system by imposing sweeping tariffs earlier this month on dozens of countries. He slapped a 145 percent tariff on Chinese goods coming into the U.S., prompting China to fire back with its own 125 percent duty.

China said Thursday that the U.S. is not engaged in talks to come up with a new trade deal, a characterization that Trump rejected later in the day.

“They had meetings this morning, and we’ve been meeting with China. And, so I think you have … as usual, I think you have your reporting wrong,” Trump told reporters Thursday.

After the tariff hikes, China inked two agricultural trade agreements with Spain, for pork and cherries, as Beijing looks to strengthen relations with European countries, Reuters reported.

U.S. pork imports are now facing a 172 percent tariff, the U.S. Meat Export Federation said, according to Bloomberg News.

If tariffs are so great, why are so many companies begging for exemptions from them?

If tariffs are so great, why did Trump beg Amazon not to show the impact of the tariffs to consumers?
