White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called Amazon “hostile” based on a rumor that its site will adjust to show how tariffs affect the total cost of a product. The statement comes just hours after a report from Punchbowl News suggested that the e-commerce giant will display the added fees right next to a product’s price.
Amazon didn’t respond to The Verge’s repeated requests for comment.
Update, April 29th: Added that the Reuters article referenced was from 2021.
