Donald Trump, In Tweet, Again Blasts Amazon Over Taxes, Jobs
Washington: U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday criticised Amazon.com on Twitter over taxes and jobs and accused the global retailer, without evidence, of hurting U.S. localities and causing job losses.
Amazon is doing great damage to tax paying retailers. Towns, cities and states throughout the U.S. are being hurt - many jobs being lost! â Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 16, 2017
Shares of the company fell 0.5 percent at $978.00 in premarket trade after Trump's comments.
Amazon.com has said that it has more than 50,000 job openings across the United States to help fulfill customer orders and earlier this month hosted multiple job fairs to fill them.
