Walmart executives expressed concerns about the impact of high tariffs on prices, despite recent temporary reductions announced by the U.S. CEO Doug McMillon stated that while the company can manage cost pressures effectively, it cannot absorb all the increases.

The retailer continues to strengthen its ties with U.S. suppliers while enhancing stores and investing in e-commerce, achieving profitability for the first time in Q1.
