White House Criticizes Amazon’s Plan to Label Tariff Costs

TheWkly Analysis

Reports emerged that Amazon might display the added costs of Trump-era import tariffs on product listings. The White House condemned this idea as “hostile,” though Amazon says no formal decision was made. This development follows the administration’s broader tariff policy, which many retailers say forces them to pass costs onto consumers. While the proposed price labeling could boost transparency for shoppers, officials worry it may stoke public criticism of tariff rules. For now, it’s unclear whether Amazon will roll out these labels. If so, consumers would see how tariffs affect final prices, potentially fueling debate on US trade policy.
