# Walmart previously stated that it would raise the prices of some products in the U.S., and more and more American companies are joining the price increase ranks

> Walmart announced that it will raise the prices of some products in the U.S., becoming a member of the growing number of American companies that have increased prices due to tariffs. Microsoft also raised the prices of Xbox consoles and some controllers. Industry reports indicate that from April 16 to 30, the prices of some Barbie dolls increased by 43%, and the prices of some Whirlpool washing machines rose by about $80. The report pointed out that in the future, products not affected by tariffs will also face price increases, as retailers and manufacturers believe that higher costs will be passed on to consumers

As a retail giant and the largest food retailer in the United States, Walmart is often seen as a barometer for measuring the health of retailers and American consumers. CNBC reports that an increasing number of American companies are raising prices due to tariffs, and Walmart has joined this trend. Earlier this month, Microsoft announced that it had raised the suggested retail prices for Xbox consoles and some controllers. An industry report released by the U.S. consulting group Telsey indicated that from April 16 to April 30, the prices of some Barbie dolls sold in the U.S. increased by 43%, while the prices of some washing machines from Whirlpool in the U.S. also rose by about $80 during this period. The report also mentioned that some products that have not yet been affected by tariffs will soon face price increases, as "retailers and manufacturers agree that higher costs will be passed on to consumers."
