美国总统特朗普宣称沃尔玛应其政府要求主动降低了商品价格1。特朗普特别指出,沃尔玛将牛肉价格每磅下调了近15%1。
沃尔玛随后发布声明,称此次降价旨在帮助顾客应对夏季消费,并列举了牛肉、玉米等商品的具体降幅1。然而,这份声明中并未提及与政府的互动1。
特朗普试图将这一降价举措的功劳归于自己,以缓解通胀压力带来的公众不满1。数据显示,过去12个月消费者物价通胀率为4.2%,高于特朗普上任时的3%1。
此前,特朗普曾于2025年5月要求沃尔玛承担关税成本1。
President Trump asserted that Walmart reduced prices at his administration's request, citing specific reductions such as beef dropping nearly 15 percent per pound 1. However, Walmart's accompanying statement made no mention of government involvement in the price cuts 1.
Walmart characterized the price reductions as an effort to assist customers during summer shopping, listing concrete discounts on items including beef and corn 1. The retailer did not publicly respond to Trump's claims about the administration's role in prompting the markdowns 1.
The price cut announcement comes as consumer inflation has remained elevated, with the Consumer Price Index up 4.2 percent over the past 12 months—above the 3 percent rate when Trump took office 1. Trump has sought to address public concerns about inflation by attributing price relief to his policies 1. In May 2025, Trump had previously pressed Walmart to absorb tariff costs 1.
