“U.S. President Donald Trump verbally thrashed Walmart on Saturday following the retailer’s announcement this week that it expects to raise prices on some goods as a result of tariffs imposed by the White House. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote that Walmart should ‘STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain’. ‘Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING. I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!’ he wrote. On Thursday, leaders at Walmart said that they will have to raise prices in response to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration even after lowered duties on Chinese imports were announced.” (05/17/25)
