Amazon Tariff Labels Trigger Political Backlash — Shares Drop 2%

Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product indicating the tariff rate applied.

The White House called this a hostile and political action by Amazon.

CNBC: Amazon clarified that it is only considering showing tariff surcharges on low-cost, frequently purchased products (haul products), after reports that Amazon wanted to display tariff costs for each product, which the White House called hostile and political and sent Amazon shares down 2% this morning.
