Largest US retailer Walmart warns of price hikes because of tariffs

Walmart will raise prices later this month in response to tariffs, reflecting how the trade war impacts U.S. companies and consumer costs. As a major retailer, Walmart often manages its costs to keep prices low for consumers, but now it's signaling that tariffs are filtering into everyday expenses. This move aligns with broader economic trends as consumers stretch their budgets to purchase essentials more cheaply, while businesses adjust their strategies to offset the effects of reduced tariffs on their supply chains and pricing structures.
