Walmart will raise prices due to tariff costs

Executives at the $750 billion company told industry analysts Thursday that they're doing everything in their power to absorb the higher costs from tariffs ordered by Trump. Given the magnitude of the duties, however, the highest since the 1930s, higher prices are unavoidable.

it says Wakmart will raise SOME prices meaning prices will not increase on everything Walmart sells.

when Trump was elected the left claimed Trump was going to cause inflation, then said Trump will crash the stock market, then Trump will crash the bond market, then Trump will cause stagflation.....is it getting embarrassing yet for the left on how Trump proves them wrong time and time again? The left would love to see the country fail just to complain about Trump.

CEOs believe that you cut more than needed and rebuild from there. It is pretty much what was done her. Doing it the way that you described will lead to it not getting done, imo.

I witnessed it getting done as I described on two separate occasions. It wasn't a suggestion or idea. It's from first hand experience.

Both sides are guilty of this kind of rhetoric which is only amping up the divide.

Trump's Bloodbath comments (which were clearly referring to economic bloodbath) are a classic example.

Granted, Trump is the worse about being goated. The media the other day went on about the Constitution and Due Process tying it to deportations. Trump was citing he deferred to his attorneys. Then she asked would he following the Constitution and he said "I don't know". Dumbest answer ever. Sure, they were goating him but he could have said "Yes" and then ask them to provide proof he isn't. For such a public figure, Trump is one of the worse communicators.

Granted, if I was constantly under the microscope, I would probably say dumb things too.

"Both sides" all you wan, still won't change the (laughably hypocritical) reality of this particular situation.

Yup. I Just filled up my gas tanks for under $30 for the first time I can remember. I am buying all the eggs I want again, and my money that I invested last month when the market was down is rising in value at an awesome rate.
But sure, the economy is struggling and voters will sour on Trump any day now
😂

They are make cuts that need to be cut but just moving that money to their own projects. This is my biggest complaint about Trump.

Agree on the cuts needed, but moving from D oriented priorities to R priorities is what he campaigned on over the last 2 years.

The policy just started. Walmart agrees they’re going to have to raise prices and your argument is “well it hasn’t happened yet! And it won’t be on everything!”

This is extra chromosome level bad

I am just curious as to why Qatar and UAE welcomed us so warmly?

To be fair, the gulf states have been friendly with USA since 1980s or so but I haven't seen this much energy before and I am curious to know what is driving it.

tarriffs were at a high point in April and lowered considerable in May. Tarriffs at their high point had minimal impact on April CPI and will continue to have minimal impact. Trump has inflation so low, even if tarriffs cause a rise in inflation then inflation levels will still be far below what they were under crooked Joe.

Powell has consistently said 2% was the target point for inflation to lower interest rates...inflation at 1.6 and Powell will not lower rates. Powell's TDS stupidly refusing to lower rates will have a more negative impact on the economy than tarriffs.

my experience with the term is from restaurant work. it meant an item was sold out or we were out of the item so don't offer it to any more tables. And if they ask, explain we are out and offer something else.
