Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company focuses on affordability as he anticipates a possible return to pandemic-like consumer behavior. During Amazon’s first-quarter earnings call, Jassy said the company is closely watching trade tensions and potential tariff increases. He emphasized that low prices are a top priority in the current economic climate. Jassy said Amazon is buying inventory early and urging third-party sellers to do the same to help protect customers from possible price hikes. Some Amazon sellers are scaling back or skipping Prime Day 2025 because of high tariffs on Chinese imports imposed by Trump.
