In light of Trump’s tariffs, Walmart CEO Douglas McMillon shared the company’s decision to raise prices.
“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” he said in a statement.

President Donald Trump was quick to answer back.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, he wrote, “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. 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 announced a temporary truce with China and even lowered duties on the majority of Chinese imports from a startling 145 percent to 30 percent for a 90-day period.
He warned that without a new deal with China, the US might impose even greater tariffs
John David Rainey, chief financial officer at Walmart, said that the tariffs imposed by Trump are “still too high.”
“We’re wired for everyday low prices, but the magnitude of these increases is more than any retailer can absorb,” Rainey told CNBC.
Last month, the chief executives of Walmart and Target spoke with the president about the devastating potential impacts of tariffs, saying his broad tariff policy might disrupt supply chains and cause product shortages. The conversation was held behind closed doors.
Following the meeting, the companies issued statements.
“We had a productive meeting with President Trump and his team and appreciated the opportunity to share our insights,” Walmart said.

Before Trump’s tariffs go into effect, billionaire Mark Cuban urged people to visit “the local Walmart or big box retailer.”
“It’s not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory,” he wrote on the social media site Bluesky.
He said that companies will likely increase the prices and blame it on tariffs even if the goods they sell are domestic.

Trump Jr. blasted for ‘vile’ comment over Biden’s aggressive cancer diagnosis
Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has since spread to his bones, according to a statement from his office on Sunday.
Considering how advanced the cancer is, the family is reviewing treatment options.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.
“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement read.
“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”
Once the news spread, messages of support came pouring in.
President Donald Trump was among those who expressed their sadness about Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., however, wasn’t as sympathetic — on the contrary, he made a comment about Biden’s cancer diagnosis that enraged many.
“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” Donald Trump Jr. wrote.
Further, Trump Jr., who serves as a trustee and executive VP of the Trump Organization, agreed with a comment “without question” that stated Biden was “running the country as a vegetable under the rug.”
As expected, social media quickly responded with criticism of his remarks.
“Mocking a man’s cancer and blaming his wife, who’s not even a medical doctor, shows just how low and shallow he is. ‘Stage five’? It’s Grade Group 5, boneh**d,” someone wrote.
“This isn’t politics. It’s cruelty. Ugly, dumb, and vile. Nothing else to call it,” another person added.
A third person accused Don Jr.” accused Don Jr of ‘”shameless opportunism dressed up as patriotism.”
Democrat campaigner, Harry Sisson, also slammed Trump’s son.
“Donald Trump Jr. just made fun of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. This is where we’re at in American politics. Trump Jr. is a pathetic, reprehensible conman who wouldn’t know decency if it smacked him in the face. Shame on him,” he wrote.
Hours before his comment, Don Jr. shared an image that read, “BREAKING: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!” He captioned his post, “Agreed 100%.”
