Trump admin lashes out as Amazon considers displaying tariff costs on its sites
“This was never approved and is not going to happen,” says Amazon.
Even if the Trump administration lowers some tariffs or keeps some form of the de minimis exemption in place, the nature of global supply chains means some damage has already been done and that retailers like Amazon and Temu could have fewer options for restocking once already-imported US-based stock has been depleted. Bloomberg reports that the volume of cargo heading from China to the US is down by "about 40 percent from this year's peak" and that restarting shipments could cause delays at US ports similar to those seen in 2021 and 2022, which could also reduce supply and increase prices.
