The White House took aggressive aim at Amazon, with President Donald Trump putting in a call to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos Tuesday morning, after the company considered displaying the added cost of tariffs on certain items.

Donald Trump launched into a furious phone call to Amazon boss Jeff Bezos after the firm considered displaying the costs of the President's tariffs on its product prices. The White House publicly condemned the retailer's move as a "hostile and political act" against America - with press secretary Karoline Leavitt saying she had spoken directly with President Trump about what she called the Amazon "bombshell".
