Walmart Increases Support For USA-Made Products <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

At a time when American consumers are increasingly interested in what products are actually “Made in the USA<\/strong>“\u2014as evidenced by a recent report showing a surge in related internet searches<\/a>\u2014the nation’s largest retailer announced plans this week to boost its support for American-made goods through new initiatives.<\/p>\n

Walmart has launched a new initiative called “Grow with US<\/a>,” offering tools and support to small businesses, especially those producing American-made goods<\/strong>.\u00a0The program is designed to strengthen the U.S. economy, which is largely driven by small businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“We’re unveiling Grow with US, a new program designed to provide U.S. small businesses with the training, mentorship and resources they need to grow with Walmart<\/strong>,”\u00a0Walmart’s U.S. CEO and president, John Furner, wrote in a press release.<\/p>\n

The CEO pointed out that\u00a0over 60% of Walmart’s U.S. suppliers are small businesses. With the ongoing trade war with China, domestic sourcing for the mega-retailer might increase. Currently, the Trump administration has 145% tariffs on all Chinese goods entering the U.S.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“More than 40 years ago, Mr. Sam set a priority that still drives us today: supporting American-made products and the small businesses behind them<\/strong>. Simply put, we want small businesses to work with Walmart, but we know getting started can feel complex,” the CEO said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the start of March, Furner announced a new commitment: “First, we’re announcing a new commitment: over the next ten years, Walmart will spend an additional $350 billion on items made, grown or assembled in the U.S. We estimate that this spend will support more than 750,000 new American jobs<\/strong>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Walmart’s expanded commitment to America’s\u00a0thousands of small businesses offering domestically produced goods is fantastic news as the Trump administration works to restore the nation’s manufacturing base<\/strong> via a trade war with China to re-shore critical supply chains that will be needed before the 2030s kick-off<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In line with Walmart’s commitment to “Made in the USA<\/strong>,” we’re proud to launch a new partnership this Friday with the Beef Initiative. The goal is to connect consumers with mom-and-pop ranchers<\/strong> producing clean, locally sourced beef that aligns with the “Make America Healthy Again<\/strong>” protocols. This grassroots effort aims to help rebuild America’s mom-and-pop ranchers and farmers one beef cut at a timeShop Clean Beef<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s remember that none of this would have been possible<\/strong> without President Trump’s relentless push to reshore supply chains and rebuild America’s hallowed manufacturing core. There will be plenty of opportunities ahead\u2014right here at home.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
