Trump-Bezos: Amazon challenges Microsoft maxi-contract

New frictions with the US president: Amazon considers the assignment to Microsoft of a 10 billion contract for the supply of cloud services to the Pentagon to be incorrect

Trump-Bezos: Amazon challenges Microsoft maxi-contract

There is no peace between Donald Trump e Jeff Bezos. After so many old rusts, the clash between the American President and Amazon's number one is rekindled for a maxi-public tender.

At stake was the supply of cloud services none other than at the Pentagon and to win the very rich contract $ 10 billion was Microsoft.

However, Bezos is preparing to contest this assignment. According to what was declared to the American media by an Amazon spokesman, there would be "obvious gaps in numerous aspects of the contract evaluation process, errors and unequivocal biases".

He had participated in the race Amazon Web Services which already provides similar services to the CIA.

Behind the exclusion of Amazon, the American media themselves hypothesize, there could be the declared hostility of the US president Donald Trump towards Bezos, which includes among his many properties also the The Washington Post. One of the largest newspapers in the world, but also – together with New York Times – one of the Trump administration's fiercest protesters.

But the US Defense Secretary, Esper, intervened by clearly ruling out any external interference on the assignment of the contract.
