President Trump Monday posted that his administration successfully got retail giant Walmart to lower its price for ground beef by “almost 15%” – adding to the recent easing of gas prices.
Trump said the “patriotic company who loves the U.S.A.” will also lower its prices on other products.
“This is a huge deal for the many millions of Americans who, smartly, shop at Walmart,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “My Administration is lowering prices that Joe Biden incompetently raised with the worst inflation crisis in history, a total disaster along with the Southern Border, the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, and many other failures.”
Trump concluded, “Walmart is stepping up in a big and bold way, and other Retailers should follow the lead of these absolute Patriots. Together, we will make America stronger and greater than ever before!”
One analysis of ground beef prices pegged the average for one pound in May 2026 at $8.62 – up from $5.63 just before the COVID-19 incident. Others put the price at around $7 a pound.
