Elizabeth Warren asks Jeff Bezos if he got any favors for his ‘subservience’ to Trump
1 min read
Summary
Senator Elizabeth Warren has written to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos querying whether he received any “promises or favours” from President Donald Trump for backing down plans to show customers the cost of tariffs.
Warren has a history of scrutinising Big Tech and is concerned that tech companies are “working together with President Trump to seek special favours”.
Trump had previously called out Bezos for even considering the plan, and subsequently praised him when it was announced that the idea would not go ahead.
Warren’s letter raises concerns “about the potential for tariff-related corruption”, and she has asked Bezos to provide detailed answers to her questions by 12 May.
