Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) is pressing Amazon CEO Andy Jassy over grocery price hikes tied to President Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs, per a letter exclusively obtained by Axios. Why it matters: The letter from the ranking member of the Joint Economic Committee could put Amazon in a tight spot — forced to talk about tariffs' impacts on prices just months after the White House threatened the retailer over sharing tariff costs.

Price hikes are in the mid-single digits across categories, a spokesperson for the company said. Consumer goods, food and drink companies have struggled with lackluster sales since the pandemic, as shoppers have balked at increasingly expensive name-brand packaged food.

The US is seeing increased tariffs income, but there are signs of some countries diverting trade from America.
