WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump accused Amazon.com Inc on Thursday of not paying enough tax, taking advantage of the US postal system and putting small retailers out of business, but he offered no evidence to back up his criticisms and did not suggest any actions he would take. 

Trump has attacked Amazon and its chief executive Jeff Bezos several times, and his latest comment came a day after news website Axios reported he was obsessed with the world's largest online retailer and wanted to rein in its growing power, possibly with federal antitrust or competition laws.
