Trump meets with US retailers to discuss tariffs
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump met with major retailers, including Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe's and Target, on Monday to discuss broad-based tariffs likely to raise the cost of everyday goods that they import. Big U.S. chains, like Walmart and Target, rely heavily on imported goods, and tariffs — including 145% levies on China — are expected to add strain on Americans already burdened by prolonged inflation. "We had a productive meeting with President Trump and his team and appreciated the opportunity to share our insights," a Walmart spokesperson said in a statement, without elaborating.
