"Our priority is to try to figure out how to keep prices low as possible," Jassy said.

“A 10% tariff is not going to change virtually any price,” he added, referring to the nearly universal baseline tariff on all countries.

"We did a lot of pre-buying in the early part of 2025 to enable us to try and keep prices as low as possible for customers," Jassy said.
