This morning the White House Press Secretary accused Amazon of conducting a 'hostile political action.'

Someone asked about the news, out of Punchbowl, that Amazon would soon add a line item at checkout that detailed the “import costs” of purchased goods. “The team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Haul store has considered listing import charges on certain products,” it said, according to Jeff Stein of The Washington Post. This short saga shows how the Trump administration plans to deal with the chaos that it has created: By attempting to bully companies into denying the reality that his tariffs are making it more expensive (or potentially impossible) to buy millions of different products.
