Walmart previously stated that it would raise the prices of some products in the U.S., and more and more American companies are joining the price increase ranks

As a retail giant and the largest food retailer in the United States, Walmart is often seen as a barometer for measuring the health of retailers and American consumers. CNBC reports that an increasing number of American companies are raising prices due to tariffs, and Walmart has joined this trend. Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that it had raised the suggested retail prices for Xbox consoles and some controllers. An industry report released by the U.S. consulting group Telsey indicated that from April 16 to April 30, the prices of some Barbie dolls sold in the U.S. increased by 43%, while the prices of some washing machines from Whirlpool in the U.S. also rose by about $80 during this period. The report also mentioned that some products that have not yet been affected by tariffs will soon face price increases, as "retailers and manufacturers agree that higher costs will be passed on to consumers."
