Walmart's  CFO said this week that the retailer will try to work with suppliers to keep prices as low as they can, but adds that the new tariffs are likely to have an impact on prices.

President Trump Slams Walmart

Trump quickly slammed Walmart. He took to Truth Social and wrote, "Walmart should stop trying to blame tariffs as the reason for raising prices," addingthat  the company and China should "eat the tariffs."

"Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. 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!!!," Trump wrote.
