ExclusiveWalmart Should 'East the Tariffs' Along With China Instead of Raising Prices, Trump Says

President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Walmart not to raise prices. The retail giant should eat the tariffs, along with China, he said. Walmart should stop trying to blame tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made billions of dollars last year, far more than expected, he wrote in a social media post. Between Walmart and China, they should, as is said, eat the tariffs and not charge valued customers anything. Walmart warned recently that it would have to raise the prices, starting from late May and June, because of the tariffs the Trump administration imposed on imported goods. The company reported $16.3 billion net income in 2024 fiscal year, 44% higher than the year before.
