"NEVER INTENDED ON THE MAIN SITE"-gate: Looks like Bezos DID plan to show tariffs, Trump called & yelled, Bezos groveled [View all]
Amazon released two statements after Leavitt’s grilling. The first claimed that only Amazon’s ultra-low-cost Amazon Haul platform was considering implementing the tariff information. Amazon Haul has been described as a “Temu copycat,” offering lower prices but longer shipping wait times.
A second statement from the business, released shortly after, stated outright that the tariff pricing disclaimer “was never approved and will not occur.”
CNN reported that a peeved Trump called Bezos after learning of Punchbowl’s report. Then, just after 1 p.m., Trump adviser Stephen Miller confirmed the call to Fox News and said that “things worked out exactly as they should.”
