Trump says Walmart will lower prices after White House request

President Donald Trump said Monday that Walmart has agreed to lower prices on a range of products after a request from his administration tied to the nation's 250th anniversary celebrations.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Walmart would reduce the price of a pound of ground beef by "almost" 15%. He did not provide details on when the discounts would begin or which other products would be included.

"This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart," Trump wrote. He called the retailer "a truly patriotic Company who loves the U.S.A."
