    Yup. The cynic in me says this was all a big show to deter any other marketplace from getting the same idea. Trump will threaten you if you talk too loud about tarrifs.

    • My inner cynic adds: Amazon also realized if they didn’t separate the tariffs, they could raise the prices higher and make extra profit. As long as it’s “Prime” and “arrives tomorrow” people will still click.

        Yeah, Amazon is interested in companies not pushing back against tarriffs, but maximising price gouging.
