白宫抨击亚马逊的关税价格标签,称此举是“敌对的政治行为”
周二,白宫严厉批评亚马逊据报道计划在产品价格的同时显示关税附加费,官员们称此举是在中美贸易紧张局势加剧的情况下出于政治动机。
据福克斯新闻报道,白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特在新闻发布会上表示:“这是亚马逊的敌对和政治行为。”。“为什么当拜登政府将通货膨胀率提高到40年来的最高水平时,亚马逊没有这样做?”
在Punchbowl News报道称亚马逊打算向客户展示商品价格中有多少可归因于唐纳德·特朗普总统贸易政策下征收的关税后,争议爆发了。一位知情人士告诉该媒体,附加费将显示在产品的总标价旁边。
莱维特表示,她“刚刚就亚马逊的公告与特朗普总统通了电话”,但拒绝就总统与公司创始人杰夫·贝佐斯的关系发表评论。“我不会谈论总统与杰夫·贝佐斯的关系,”她说。
亚马逊做出这一决定之际,美中贸易紧张局势急剧升级。本月早些时候,特朗普宣布了针对中国进口商品的新一轮重大关税。作为回应,亚马逊卖家提高了从电子产品到服装等数百种消费品的价格,SmartScout报告的平均价格上涨了近30%。
SmartScout首席执行官Scott Needham告诉哥伦比亚广播公司MoneyWatch:“这是我看到的第一批协同努力之一,除了关税之外,没有任何其他原因可以解释价格上涨。”。
在白宫的批评之后,亚马逊的股价在周二的盘前交易中下跌了2%以上。亚马逊尚未公开回应置评请求。
这一事态发展可能会考验特朗普和贝索斯之间不断发展的关系,贝索斯在特朗普的第一个任期内曾发生过着名的冲突,但自2024年大选以来,双方似乎关系更加密切。特朗普最近称贝索斯和Meta首席执行官马克·扎克伯格表现出“更高水平的尊重”,并称赞他们将公司的政策与他的政府的价值观相一致。
“他们很棒,”特朗普在接受《大西洋月刊》采访时说。“也许他们一开始不认识我,现在他们认识我了。”
据报道,贝佐斯去年阻止了《华盛顿邮报》编辑委员会支持特朗普的对手、时任副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯,并重组了该报的意见部分,强调“个人自由和自由市场”,从而引起了人们的注意
与此同时,总部位于中国的快时尚平台Shein和Temu已经开始在结账页面上显示进口费用,据报道,Temu的附加费每件商品增加了约145%。

White House Blasts Amazon Over Tariff Price Labels, Calling Move a ‘Hostile, Political Act’
The White House on Tuesday sharply criticized Amazon for reportedly planning to display tariff surcharges alongside product prices, a move officials described as politically motivated amid heightened trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
"This is a hostile and political act by Amazon," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press briefing, according to Fox News. "Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?"
The controversy erupted after Punchbowl News reported that Amazon intends to show customers how much of an item's price is attributable to tariffs imposed under President Donald Trump's trade policies. The surcharge would be displayed next to the product's total listed price, a person familiar with the plan told the outlet.
Leavitt said she "just got off the phone" with President Trump regarding Amazon's announcement but declined to comment on the president's relationship with company founder Jeff Bezos. "I will not speak to the president's relationships with Jeff Bezos," she said.
The decision by Amazon comes amid a sharp escalation in U.S.-China trade tensions. Earlier this month, Trump announced a new wave of significant tariffs targeting Chinese imports. In response, Amazon sellers have raised prices on hundreds of consumer products, from electronics to clothing, with SmartScout reporting average price increases close to 30%.
"It's one of the first concerted efforts I've seen where nothing explains the price hikes other than tariffs," SmartScout CEO Scott Needham told CBS MoneyWatch.
Shares of Amazon dropped more than 2% in premarket trading Tuesday following the White House's criticism. Amazon has not publicly responded to requests for comment.
The development could test the evolving relationship between Trump and Bezos, who had famously clashed during Trump's first term but have appeared to move closer since the 2024 election. Trump recently described Bezos and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg as having shown "a higher level of respect" and praised them for aligning their companies' policies with his administration's values.
"They've been great," Trump said in an interview with The Atlantic. "Maybe they didn't know me at the beginning, and they know me now."
Bezos drew attention last year after reportedly blocking the Washington Post's editorial board from endorsing Trump's opponent, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, and restructuring the newspaper's opinion section to emphasize "personal liberties and free markets."
Meanwhile, China-based fast fashion platforms Shein and Temu have already begun displaying import charges on their checkout pages, with Temu's surcharge reportedly adding around 145% per item.
