US President Donald Trump has again taken aim at e-commerce giant Amazon, denouncing its business deal with the US Postal Service as a money-losing agreement.
"The US Post Office will lose $1.50 on average for each package it delivers for Amazon. That amounts to Billions of Dollars [sic]," Trump wrote on Twitter Saturday.
He cited figures that suggested that if the post office "increased its parcel rates, Amazon's shipping costs would rise by $2.6 Billion [sic]." Trump said: "This Post Office scam must stop. Amazon must pay real costs (and taxes) now!"
Amazon was exempt from those taxes for years because it had no physical presence in individual states, but it now pays taxes in the states that levy them.
"I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!" Trump tweeted on March 29.
A couple of days later, he claimed that the US Post Office was losing billions of dollars in revenue by delivering packages for Amazon.
