Walmart and Sam’s Club launch summer rollbacks as Trump cites administration request

Fox Business reported that Walmart and its subsidiary Sam’s Club announced summer price cuts on thousands of grocery and household items nationwide. The retailers said the discounts were intended to help families keep costs down during the season. They emphasized that the rollbacks would be applied at stores and online.

CNN later reported that President Donald Trump said the price reductions came after a request from his administration. Trump praised the discounts on his social-media platform, claiming the government had prompted the retailers to act. Walmart has not confirmed that the administration influenced the pricing decision.
