WASHINGTON, May 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on
Saturday that Walmart <WMT.N> should "eat the tariffs" instead of
blaming duties imposed by his administration on imported goods for the retailer's increased prices.

His comments were in response to the world's largest retailer saying
this week it would have to start raising prices later this month due to
high tariffs.

"Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising
prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year,
far more than expected," Trump said in a social media post.

"Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, 'EAT THE TARIFFS,'
and not charge valued customers ANYTHING."
