Walmart likely to raise prices if Trump enforces tariffs, CFO says
2024-11-27
[Washington Examiner] Walmart has signaled price hikes should be expected if President-elect Donald Trump makes good on his plan to implement a broad tariff regime.

The retailer’s CFO John David Rainey said the company would likely have to raise its prices, which is against its model and wishes.

"We never want to raise prices," he told CNBC. "Our model is everyday low prices. But there probably will be cases where prices will go up for consumers."
"More expensive cheap Chinese crap you don't need"
Rainey added that it’s too early to determine which products could cost more due to the tariffs.

#4  If gasoline prices go down 30 cents people won't much notice the increment in retail.

USA field production of crude is now about 13M barrels per day. Get it up to 15M bpd (need at least a year for this) and I think this kind of drop in gas prices will follow.

#3  There was a time when the late Sam Walton took pride in stocking American made merchandise.

There was a time when all kind of staff (and I'm not talking about American Toyota) was made in USA.
