There is hardly a way past Walmart in the USA. The largest retailer in the world has around 4,600 branches in the United States alone and, with its more than two million employees, is one of the largest employers in the world. The Walmart branches offer food, clothing and children’s toys, tools, but also electronics: game consoles, television, washing machines. Nowhere is Trump’s customs war in America more direct than with the Walmart customers. According to estimates, 60 to 70 percent of the products on the shelves of the commercial giant come from China. An additional import customs of 84 percent in the United States has been in effect for these products since Thursday. If you add the Trump-Zölle, which he put into force against China in the weeks before, even 104 percent of customs will come to the goods. On Wednesday evening, Trump increased again – to 125 percent. Once the goods camps are sold out, the prices for consumers are likely to attract.
