YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday that a reported plan by Amazon to display the cost of President Donald Trump’s tariffs next to prices on their site was a “hostile and political act” by the company.

Amazon later clarified that the the team that runs its Haul store, the company’s version of Temu that sells goods for low prices, “has considered listing import charges on certain products,” a spokesperson said. “This was never a consideration for the main Amazon site and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties.”

The news comes amid questions over the impact of Trump’s trade policies and increased tariffs on foreign imports into the United States.
