00:00Hi, Mr. Secretary, so it was reported this morning that Amazon will soon display a little number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding to the cost of each product.
00:13So isn't that a perfect, crystal-clear demonstration that it's the American consumer and not China who is going to have to pay for these policies?
00:22I will take this since I just got off the phone with the President about Amazon's announcement.
00:27This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.
00:32Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?
00:39And I would also add that it's not a surprise because, as Reuters recently wrote, Amazon has partnered with a Chinese propaganda arm.
00:48So this is another reason why Americans should buy American.
00:52It's another reason why we are on-shoring critical supply chains here at home to shore up our own critical supply chain and boost our own manufacturing here.
01:00Is Jeff Bezos still a Trump supporter?
01:03Look, I will not speak to the President's relationships with Jeff Bezos, but I will tell you that this is certainly a hostile and political action by Amazon.
01:12And, Secretary, if you have anything to add.
01:13Yeah.
01:14Yeah.
01:14Yeah.
01:14Yeah.
01:14Yeah.
