Trump loves to brag about “ending” the fictional “War on Christmas” to the acclaim of his hooting fan base, but his escalating trade war with China could mean Americans have to spend more on Christmas presents. At least that’s what Walmart, the largest retailer in the United States, claims in a letter to the Trump administration about the trade policy.
Trump slapped tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese goods over the summer and China retaliated with their own tariffs targeting U.S. goods like soybeans. U.S. soybean farmers are pretty pissed about the situation, saying the spat has “devastated” the industry. Now retailers are fighting back too. Walmart sent a letter to the Trump administration warning the trade war would force them to raise prices on a whole host of products.
