According to Trump, the White House asked Walmart to reduce prices on essential grocery items, and the company agreed. He did not specify which other products were included or the exact size of the price cuts, but he described the move as a win for American families.

Walmart has not publicly confirmed the details of the agreement, but the company has previously announced price reductions on certain food items in response to inflation pressures. The retailer, which operates thousands of stores across the U.S., is often seen as a bellwether for consumer pricing trends.

The announcement comes as the administration continues to focus on inflation and the cost of living, with Trump frequently citing grocery prices in his public remarks. It remains unclear whether other retailers will follow suit or if the White House plans similar appeals to other companies.
