5:47Now PlayingThe White House has hit back against a reported plan by Amazon to detail the price impact of President Donald Trump's trade tariffs to its customers, calling it a "hostile" political act.
Amazon told the Washington Post it had looked into itemising the costs for customers using Amazon Haul, a low-cost site it launched in the US last year to compete with Shein and Temu.
But it denied such a move had been under consideration for its primary e-commerce platform.
At a press conference marking the president's 100 days in office, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said she had discussed Amazon's reported move with the president and claimed it represented "another reason why Americans should buy American".
Trump has ramped up tariffs since re-entering office in January, measures he argues will boost manufacturing and raise tax revenue for the US.
