Walmart Warns of Price Increases Due to Tariffs
Walmart announced that even with reduced tariffs on China, it may soon have to raise prices due to the significant impact of ongoing trade levies imposed by the Trump administration. CEO Doug McMillon stated that the company’s ability to maintain low prices is compromised by narrow retail margins, leading to anticipated price hikes later this month. Additionally, Walmart has withdrawn its quarterly profit forecast amid global economic uncertainty and the pursuit of favorable trade agreements by the Trump administration.
