Amazon (Amzn) Refuse information that she will display the impact of prices next to the price of products on her electronic commerce site, which attracted the anger of the Trump administration on Tuesday.
“The team that manages our Amazon Ultra at low cost transport store considered the idea of listing the import costs on certain products,” said Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle in a statement. “It has never been approved and will not happen.”
According to CNN BLAND HOME REPORT ALAYAY TREENEPresident Trump personally called Jeff Bezos to complain about the original price report of Punchbowl NewsWho said that Amazon would show price increases related to prices on goods.
Trump commented the question during a press briefing Tuesday afternoon, saying: “Jeff Bezos is very nice. Very good. He solved the problem very quickly. He did the right thing. Good guys.”
Before Amazon published her declaration, the press secretary of the White House, Karoline Leavitt, described the move “a hostile and political act”.
Amazon’s stock has recovered higher losses during the session and closed about 0.2%.
Monday, Reuters reported That some Amazon merchants planned to reduce their participation in the first -day event of the company this summer due to pricing uncertainty.
“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration has increased inflation at the highest level in 40 years?” Leavitt said following the Punchbowl report. “And I would also add that this is not a surprise because, as Reuters recently wrote, Amazon has teamed up with a Chinese propaganda arm.”
We do not know what the relationship that Leavitt was referring to, but a 2021 Reuters report said that Amazon was in partnership With the propaganda arm of China to sell publications on its American site.
“This is another reason why Americans should buy Americans,” Leavitt added.
“This is another reason why we are on the critical supply chains here at home to consolidate our own critical supply chain and improve our own manufacturing here.”
Speaking earlier this month on CNBCAndy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, said when asked for prices: “We will try to do everything possible to keep the prices as low as possible for customers.”
Asked about the contact of the company with the Trump administration, Jassy said: “We (let’s talk) to the administration all the time.”
“We share with them different … things that, in our view, count for consumers, things that, in our view, count for businesses … (we) also have conversations on prices. And we share some of the concerns and they are aware of them.”
