## Walmart just leveled with Americans: China won’t be paying for Trump’s tariffs, in all likelihood you will

Authored by fortune.com

“Tariffs are going to be inflationary, there’s no disputing that,” Walmart finance chief John David Rainey told Fox News on Thursday.

That’s not the message the Trump campaign took to the nation during the 2024 election race, however.

Coast to coast, Americans felt a deep-seated resentment at spiraling prices on everything from gasoline to groceries to restaurant visits.

They would fill the nation’s coffers, reduce the deficit, bring back manufacturing jobs—and might even eliminate the need for income taxes.

Well, those would be borne by others—chiefly U.S. strategic rival China, which could face duties as high as 60% on goods it exported.

Walmart finance boss Rainey said the massive retailer would do its utmost to cushion the blow—but pain was inevitable. »

Authored by latintimes.com

"Regarding what's been said about deportations -- who will have the biggest problems?"

Although some experts have warned that tariffs would cause Mexico to enter a recession, others caution that U.S. consumers and companies would feel the impact as well.
