James Lankford supports Amazon’s ‘transparency’ in tariff cost display

Published April 29, 2025 3:37pm ET



Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) encouraged Amazon to continue communicating the cost of tariffs on its products despite pushback from the White House.

Amazon teased a “import charges” explainer on its websites to demonstrate how President Donald Trump‘s “Liberation Day” tariffs, largely on pause until July 9, affect prices. However, a phone call between Trump and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, confirmed by sources to the Washington Examiner, might undo the import charges.
