On April 29, after Amazon reportedly considered displaying an additional tariff charge next to the listed price on its Haul platform, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at a press briefing held up a photo of Amazon chairman Jeff Bezos and called the move a “hostile and political act.” Trump, whom a senior official described as “pissed,” called Bezos to complain, saying the company’s founder “solved the problem very quickly.”

Amazon said that although it was considering displaying the tariff cost, the plan was ultimately not approved and “not going to happen.”

They're not gonna eat the price.

They may hide the cost of the tariffs instead of breaking it out, but there's no way they just keep prices the same. Especially with 100% plus tariffs, they'd be losing money with every sale.

But Amazons while business model is cheap shit sent fast, even if they raise prices to keep margins, they're going to lose a lot of volume unless they raise it even more.

The only part of this good for big business, is everything not a billion dollar corporation already so gonna have to sell or go bankrupt
