LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

In the confrontational interview with reporter Terry Moran, the president doubled down on his China trade war plan, claiming the Chinese will "eat those tariffs," when it is widely acknowledged that price hikes will be passed on to American consumers.
