Amazon's Controversial Plan Shelved

In a recent development, Amazon has officially stated that it will not proceed with a previously considered plan to display import charges on products sold through its platform. This decision comes amidst criticism from the White House regarding the potential display of Trump-era tariff costs.

Clarification from Amazon: "The team operating our ultra-low-cost Amazon Haul store considered listing import charges on select products," explained Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle in a statement to CNBC. "This proposal was never approved and will not occur."

White House's Stance

The announcement follows the White House's vocal opposition to Amazon's initial intention, highlighting the ongoing debate over trade policies and their visibility to consumers.
