The company reported overall mixed results, sending share prices down in after-hours trading.<\/p>\n

As much as Amazon may have wanted to dodge the spotlight in President Trump\u2019s trade war, there was no avoiding it for America\u2019s largest online retailer.<\/p>\n

First, the e-commerce company was entangled in the fleeting spat Tuesday with the White House<\/a> over a faulty report that Amazon was going to show shoppers the costs of tariffs.<\/p>\n

Two days later, the economic reality arrived when Amazon reported among the slowest growth ever in its North American retail business.<\/p>\n

The region, Amazon\u2019s largest, contributed to first-quarter financial results that showed the slowest overall sales growth since the depths of the pandemic, the company reported Thursday. Sales from January through March rose to $155.7 billion, 9 percent more than the same period a year earlier. Profit was $17.1 billion, up 64 percent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
\n

For the current quarter, which ends in June, Amazon told investors to expect sales of $159 billion to $164 billion, and for operating profits to shrink to as low as $13 billion. Amazon added \u201ctariff and trade policies\u201d to the list of factors it says can make its forecasts uncertain. <\/p>\n

The results were mixed compared with Wall Street\u2019s expectations. Amazon\u2019s stock price was down more than 3 percent in aftermarket trading following the earnings release.<\/p>\n
