Leavitt NUKES Bezos After Amazon Announces it Will Blame Trump Tariffs for Price Hikes

Amazon just revealed it plans to label products with price increases allegedly caused by Trump’s new tariffs.

A reporter asked about this, but before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent could respond, Karoline Leavitt jumped in and dropped the hammer on Jeff Bezos.

“I’ll take this, since I just got off the phone with the president about Amazon’s announcement.”

“This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.”

Leavitt unleashed on the double standard shown by Bezos:

“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?”

Then she brought the receipts:

“As Reuters recently wrote, Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm.”

She called it another reminder of why America needs to onshore critical supply chains and buy American.

The same reporter asked if Jeff Bezos is still a Trump supporter.

Leavitt shut it down:

“I will not speak to the president’s relationships with Jeff Bezos, but I will tell you, this is certainly a hostile and political action by Amazon.”
