Uncharacteristically taking the same side as Amazon, President Donald Trump called the company's decision to abandon it's HQ2 plans in Queens "a big loss for New York City."

Trump, who is known to bash Amazon and its founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, mocking him as "Jeff Bozo" in one tweet, made the case for Amazon during a press conference in the Oval Office Friday. But on Friday, Trump defended the nearly three billion in tax incentives the city and state offered Amazon for its promise of 25,000 high-paying jobs in a deal brokered by the Democratic governor and mayor.
