Trump called Bezos amid Amazon’s consideration of tariff levies for transparency. He praised Bezos as “very terrific” and deemed the call “good.”

US President Donald Trump phoned Amazon’s founder Jeff Bezos following report that the E-commerce company was looking into demonstrating tariff levies on products as a transparency measure, The Wall Street Journal reported. This development comes after White House described the action of Amazon as a “political act” and “hostile,” asking why it hadn’t taken a similar action under previous administrations when inflation was at an all-time high.
