"The latest round of tariffs imposed by President Trump as part of an ongoing trade war with China could see prices rise at Walmart, the retailer has said."
"Walmart sent a letter to the Officer of United States Trade Representative, warning that the new tariffs, if imposed, could cause steep price hikes in its stores. “This round of tariffs could impact a significant number of common consumer items that are not easily replaceable,” said the letter from Walmart. The company said that the customers could suffer the worst of the tariffs."

Oh, oh, this ain't going play well in all them there red states supposedly the rest of the country ignores, when the good ole boys realize their man has just bumped the cost of their Bud Light we're going to have trouble in Trumpville
Then again, I'm sure their demagogues can always find a way to blame it on Obama, or at least the f*cking Canadians

We'll see if Americans can back their President in his battle with China and their unfair Trade Practices.

Won't that be interesting to see? trump started the payments to starving farmers, only to have wheat/corn farmers finding that they aren't part of the program.
I'm sure he'll up food stamp funding once the 25% hike kicks in after Jan. 1.
On another note...this is actually how tariffs are supposed to work. Goods are supposed to be so expensive, it's worth it to pay for American made. Unfortunately, labor is only one reason corps. go overseas. trump will leave office in pretty much the same manner as he left numerous casinos...a failure.
Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.
