Amazon sellers have increased prices on essentials due to tariffs imposed by President Trump, which have squeezed their profit margins.

Amazon's stock has dropped 15% in 2021, and the company is exploring ways to keep prices affordable while facing rising import duties of 145%. Many sellers are shifting stock to Canada in response to the tariffs. Amazon's stock was down 0.10% at $186.43 recently.
