Amazon rushes to kill tariff story: 'Never under consideration'

After White House furor over reports that Amazon would be displaying price increases due to President Trump's tariffs, new reporting by The Washington Post claims the information isn't entirely true.

In a morning press briefing, press secretary Karoline Leavitt called Amazon's move "a hostile and political act by Amazon."

But the Post's Jeff Stein posted on X shortly after, "Amazon Spox now saying this was never under consideration for the main Amazon website. Says Amazon Haul has considered listing import price duties on certain products."

Stein included Amazon's statement on the issue: “The team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Haul store has considered listing import charges on certain products. This was never a consideration for the main Amazon site and nothing has been implemented on any Amazon properties.”

Amazon owner Jeff Bezos hasn't yet commented.
