    Walmart thought it could use its immense
    power as America’s biggest retailer to make
    Chinese suppliers eat the cost of President
    Donald Trump’s tariffs. But Walmart got a
    response it’s not accustomed to hearing: No.

    Trump has slapped 20% tariffs — or taxes on
    imported goods — on all products coming from
    China. That’s put the squeeze on retailers
    like Walmart, which imports a lot of
    merchandise from China and sells those
    goods at the lowest price possible to
    American consumers. Walmart, in turn, has
    tried to pressure its Chinese suppliers to
    lower prices. But the Chinese government is
    having none of it.
