KEY POINTS

  • Amazon said Tuesday it considered displaying import charges on items sold via its site for ultra-discount items, but that the plan “was never approved and not going to happen.”
  • The White House lashed out at Amazon after a report said the company would “soon” begin displaying import charges alongside some items.
  • The move would have affected items sold on Haul, Amazon’s answer to Chinese discount retailer Temu, which offers apparel, home goods and other items priced at $20 or less.

      MAGA attacked the largest law firms first. Then the news. Then research and universities. Now Wikipedia. Google kissed the ring before he won. META is eager to toe his line, per leaked staff meetings. The White House press secretary routinely ignores reality in favor of cluster B personality disorder false reality.

      This is all about blocking true and correct information. There can be no opposition if everyone’s in doubt regarding truth and what is actually happening.

      So of course he is vehemently opposed to something like Amazon spelling out how tariffs really work.

    I would consider stopping my Amazon boycott if they put the cost of tariffs on every item.

    Until then (or until they support a sane government) no more Amazon for me, thanks.
