KEY TAKEAWAYS Walmart has become the latest example of a big company catching high profile political pushback in a still-fluid trade environment, as President Trump said on social media Saturday that the retail giant should "eat the tariffs.

Walmart's CFO said last week that it might have to raise prices because of the tariffs. That didn't go over well in the White House.

Walmart CEO Douglas McMillon said that the retail giant is being forced to raise its prices as a direct result of the president's trade war.
