The White House sharply criticises Amazon
Amazon. Credits: Amazon. The White House has strongly criticised the online retailer Amazon. The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, called it a “hostile and political act” that Amazon apparently now indicates how much US President Donald Trump's tariffs contribute to the price. Leavitt said she had just spoken to the president about it. When asked whether Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was still a Trump supporter, the spokesperson said she did not want to talk about the president's relationship with Bezos. She repeated that this was a “hostile and political act”. Bezos had recently sought closeness to Trump, and had also exerted influence at the 'Washington Post', which he owns. Before the US election in November, he stopped a previously written recommendation for Donald Trump's rival Kamala Harris, which triggered criticism within the editorial team and among readers.
