Trump says Walmart cut prices at his request, but Walmart statement omits administration's role

Trump claimed Walmart will slash prices — including about a 15% cut on ground beef — at his administration’s request to mark the country’s 250th birthday.
Walmart announced summer price rollbacks on items like ground beef, cherries and soda but made no mention of any government involvement.
The exchange feeds into the larger inflation and midterm-election debate, with Trump using Walmart as a consumer barometer while inflation stays elevated.
