Breitbart: The price of products Amazon Inc. displays in its online store may soon include the listed price and how much was added to the value due to President Donald Trump’s tariff impositions.
Punchbowl News reported on Tuesday that, according to a source familiar with the matter, the e-commerce giant will start showing the figure added to the value because of the duties right alongside a product’s total price.
The move is reportedly an effort by Amazon to inform customers cost rises have nothing to do with it and everything to do with the Trump White House.
Response to the reported move has been fast and to the point, with diplomat Richard Grenell for one keen for other measures to be taken, noting the sheer volume of produce Amazon shifts from producers in China. read more
And the “oh-shit-thats-not-a-good-idea” backtracking has begun!

They are saying that they backed down from this. Funny how they never added anything for Biden inflation, Covid supply chain destruction BS, etc.

I don’t recall any time the backtracking has been this fast and this vehement. Maybe the stock price drop had something to do with it.
Honestly I was looking forward to it, it would help me discern American-made products. Well if Amazon has any.
Amazon realized that it would be counterproductive to put the country of origin on all items. The last thing they want is for everyone that uses Amazon to be aware of how much crap comes from China!
I’m with LCD! That would have been a great way to only buy Made In the USA!!!!
Dang.

Amazon makes it’s bones on cheap Chinese knockoffs. It may as well be Temu or Ali express.
Great, they could also show how much profit Bezos’ made on your purchase right next to it!
“… added to the value …”
It adds to the PRICE, not to the VALUE.
Most junk from China has little or no value.
Breitbart’s getting sloppy.
