Trump claims credit for Walmart price cuts as economists point to supply
- President Trump said Monday that Walmart was lowering prices on ground beef and thousands of other items at his administration's request, casting the move as proof his policies are easing the cost of living.
- Walmart confirmed the price cuts but did not credit the White House, and economists said the forces driving grocery and beef prices have far more to do with a shrunken cattle herd than with any action in Washington.
