Amazon.com Inc has endured months of criticism and threats from Donald Trump. Now it’s feuding with a rival of the president, the progressive icon Senator Bernie Sanders. 

Even as the retail giant neared a US$1tril (RM4.11tril) valuation on Aug 29, its company blog was taking aim at what it called “inaccurate and misleading accusations” by the Vermont senator and former presidential candidate, who has said he’ll introduce a bill requiring large employers such as Amazon and Walmart Inc to pay a “living wage” or face a tax.
