What happened

President Donald Trump said Monday that Walmart will lower prices on several products, including cutting the price of a pound of ground beef by almost 15%, at his administration’s request for the nation’s 250th anniversary. Walmart and Sam’s Club announced discounts on thousands of everyday and seasonal items, including fresh corn at $0.25. Walmart’s statement described the promotion but did not mention the administration’s role. Trump urged other retailers to follow Walmart as his administration faces continued public pressure over grocery prices and inflation.
