Shares of Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN.O) fell by 6 percent on Monday after United States President, Donald Trump, said he was going to reign in the online tech giant. President Donald Trump attacked the online retailer on Twitter due to the pricing of its deliveries through the United States Postal Service and promised unspecified changes.

The shares are likely to fall down lower than the current amount in the coming weeks.
