President Donald Trump personally called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Tuesday to complain about about a report that the online retail giant was considering displaying U.S. tariff costs on its product listings, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News.
Within hours of the call, Amazon publicly downplayed the scope of its plan — and then announced that it had been scrapped entirely.

Bezo is no longer the CEO... He transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman.

Don't be Sorry. Another report confirming it was fake news. Amazon Haul is not Amazon.com which was originally reported by Punch bowl news and for some reason you keep leaving that part out.
No.. a Report showing that Trump called Bezos and the story changed.

A report that Amazon would display price increases due to tariffs on its goods — which the company has since denied — landed CEO Jeff Bezos a phone call from President Donald Trump on Tuesday, Breitbart News can confirm.
CNN White House reporter Alayna Treene, citing two senior White House officials speaking anonymously, reported that Trump personally called Amazon’s founder to confront him about the report. A source familiar verified to Breitbart News that there was a call between Trump and Bezos in the morning.

Of course they do.
I said it's not like that at all. Not that they don't pay collected sale taxes.
You are grasping hard to make them equal. And they are not.
Maybe you think the Founders of this nation did not know the difference between a tariff and a sales tax.

Now you are getting it. The importer does.
The same importer has to pay that tariff to the Gov. The end.

Don't leave the rest off. Who pays the tariff?

Nope. The only reason the word tax is associated with tariffs, is because of who collects it; the government. The money is paid by an importer, and it goes directly into the Treasury. If the importer decides to raise his prices to cover the tariff, then the consumer can reject the product. At that point the "tax" has already been paid. So if the product doesnt sell, the importer goes under. Therefore, not a consumer tax, At All
This is correct.

Sound familiar?
It does.

Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab aims to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India by the end of 2026, and is speeding up those plans to navigate potentially higher tariffs in China, its main manufacturing base, a source told Reuters.
Apple sells over 60 million iPhones in the U.S. annually with roughly 80% of them made in China currently.
Just because you and I don't know all of the details of every move made doesn't mean things were not planned.

Care to say why it's bad besides a downvote?
I rarely downvote.
Yes. I can explain it. IT was pressure from the Chinese Gov. As Reuters explained, Amazon teamed with China's propaganda apparatus.
That begs the question... why now?
They did not do that under Biden. They did it on the man who is actually hurting them.
This was never about transparency. It's about optics and trying to erode public support of Trump.
