President Donald Trump called Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to complain after a report suggested the online marketplace planned on displaying the cost of tariffs next to product prices.

White House officials said Trump called Bezos “shortly after” receiving information about the report.

A spokesperson for Amazon said the idea of listing tariffs on certain products was never approved and is not going to happen.
