Furious Trump calls Jeff Bezos over ‘politically hostile’ Amazon plan to advertise tariff surcharge on goods

Amazon said it has ruled out a plan to display a tariff surcharge on product listings after its founder Jeff Bezos got an angry call from President Trump and the White House called it a “hostile and political act”.

The e-commerce giant said Tuesday that it weighed showing import charges on its discount shopping site Haul, but said the idea “was never approved and is not going to happen.” Amazon said it had never considered displaying the charges on its flagship shopping site.
