Trump angrily calls Bezos! Amazon reportedly reveals information about tariff increases, White House furious: This is a political provocation.

US President Trump recently furiously called Amazon (Amazon) founder Jeff Bezos (Jeff Bezos), triggered by a report indicating that Amazon might label some product pages "prices increased due to Trump tariffs." In response, senior White House officials described this action as "political provocation," although Amazon immediately clarified that it had "never formally considered" such a move.

Amazon is set to reveal tariff costs, and the White House is furious.

A certain website under Amazon originally planned to indicate price increases due to tariffs on the product page, for example:

Let consumers see "how much more this product costs because of taxes levied by the government."

As soon as this idea came out, it provoked outrage in the White House. Officials revealed that when Trump saw the report, he was extremely angry and asked directly:

"How can a company worth hundreds of billions of dollars pass the costs onto consumers?" Then directly called Bezos to express dissatisfaction.

White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt also publicly stated that this is a hostile political act.

After the controversy was exposed, an Amazon official spokesperson stated first: "We are just considering it and have not implemented it."

But it was emphasized again that "the proposal has not been approved at all and will not appear on the Amazon website." This discussion is limited to Amazon's sub-brand "Amazon Hall," which is a benchmark service against competitors Shein and Temu, focusing on inexpensive products.

Experts say that consumers should know that "tariffs are actually taxes."

Some experts believe that it should be a good thing to let consumers know the actual cost sources behind product pumps.

"Tariffs are actually a kind of tax, and most of the time, it is the consumers who foot the bill. It's just that it is hidden within the supply chain, and people can't see it."

However, some people point out that if a well-known company like Amazon does this, it will be seen by the White House as "manipulating public opinion" and may even affect consumers' perception of government policies.

Trump signs executive order on auto tariffs, moderately easing policies to encourage factories to return to the U.S.

On the same day that the Amazon controversy was heating up, Trump also signed an executive order adjusting tariffs on the automotive industry.

According to White House officials:

The 25% tariff on imported cars remains unchanged.

An additional 25% tariff is imposed on imported parts.

However, for some domestic assembly plants, a "partial tax refund" subsidy can be applied for to alleviate the burden.

The aim is to "encourage more car manufacturers to set up factories and produce in the United States."

Trump's influence on businesses has increased significantly, putting pressure on e-commerce and manufacturers.

The recent Amazon incident demonstrates that Trump's influence over the business community is stronger than at any time in the past. As soon as the news broke, Amazon immediately changed its stance, and the stock market reacted positively to the policy shift.

Analysis indicates that if Trump further demands companies "not to pass on tariffs to consumers," it may put pressure on other e-commerce and manufacturers.

Small businesses have quietly marked that tariff issues cannot be stopped.

Although Amazon chose to withdraw, many American small and medium-sized enterprises have already announced on their websites or communities: "The cost of this product has changed from XX to XX because of the new tariffs."

Experts point out that although large companies do not dare to take action, voters have actually known that all products are experiencing a pump, which is also the reason why the Trump administration is particularly nervous about this issue.
