The administration of US President Donald Trump has blacklisted the five largest Amazon online stores located outside the United States. It should be noted that Amazon's US website was not included in this list.
These are Amazon's e-commerce platforms in the UK, Germany, France, India and Canada, which have been added to the list of "poor" sites.
The US Trade Mission explained that these sites contributed to the sale of counterfeit and pirated products and their addition to the "black list" was the result of complaints from American companies about the sale of counterfeit goods.
In turn, Amazon called this move politically motivated and said that it has invested heavily to prevent illegal activities by merchants.
The internet company said in a statement that it has invested significant sums in tackling the problem and blocked more than 6 billion questionable seller offers last year alone.
"We are active stakeholders in the fight against counterfeiting," an Amazon spokesperson added.
