John Lawson of Watching Amazon: Amazon is not the third superpower in the Tariff War
b'It appears like we may have averted a tariff war with Mexico, even though it\\u2019s still a bit early to tell if that will really be the case. But there\\u2019s another tariff war that\\u2019s still in effect right now between the two biggest economies in the world \\u2013 The USA and China. But are these the only two superpowers involved in this fight? Some say there\\u2019s actually a third superpower involved in this \\u2013 Amazon. Now is Amazon really a superpower in the same way that these two countries are? Of course not. They can\\u2019t use executive orders to remove or increase tariffs the same way USA or China can. But, can Amazon impact the impact of these tariffs due to online retail omnipotence and the role they play with both third-party sellers and consumers? Well that\\u2019s what I put to my buddy and Watching Amazon co-host John Lawson.'
