Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said Thursday he would introduce a bill requiring retailers to display any rise in cost on products caused by President Trump’s tariffs.

The idea was reportedly floated within Amazon before ultimately being scrapped when it became public, and the White House called it a “hostile and political act.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is planning to introduce the “Truth in Tariffs Act” in the upper chamber.

“If the President and his Cabinet of billionaires are forcing Americans to pay a lot more for consumer goods, the people have a right to know just how much. His tariff charge is basically a national sales tax and we always print the price of taxes on receipts,” Raskin said of the measure in a Thursday post on social platform X.

Trump has imposed a 10 percent baseline tariff on imports from most nations in addition to levies on certain metals and foreign vehicles and a 145 percent duty on products from China, with a carve-out for some consumer electronics.

Amazon quickly distanced itself from any plans to publicly track tariff costs.

“The team that runs our ultra low cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen,” Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle said in a statement to The Hill last month.

The White House initially slammed the plan during an early morning press conference hours after reports first emerged.

“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest levels in 40 years?” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Trump later spoke to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and told reporters, “He solved the problem very quickly. And, he did the right thing and he’s a good guy.”

Bezos was among the tech titans who sat behind the president during his January inauguration.

He has also come under criticism for steering the opinion section of The Washington Post, with moves such as pulling an endorsement for Vice President Harris, which reportedly cost the outlet hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
