Amazon.com set to meet with FTC ahead of potential antitrust lawsuit -source

Amazon.com is set to meet next week with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ahead of a potential long-awaited antitrust lawsuit against the retailer, according to a source familiar with the matter.

The FTC began probing Amazon during the Trump administration. The company has been criticized for allegedly favoring its own products and disfavoring outside sellers on its platform, among other allegations. Amazon denies this. The FTC typically holds meetings with companies after lengthy investigations before deciding whether to file a suit.
