Summary

As tariffs and global economic uncertainty weigh on businesses, Walmart EVP Dan Bartlett joins Mo News from the company’s shareholders meeting in Bentonville to break down how the retail giant is navigating tariff and economic uncertainty. Bartlett explains how Walmart is approaching increasing prices, how it’s absorbing costs as President Trump tells them to “eat the tariffs,” and believes it will still “win on price.” Bartlett dives into how the world’s largest private employer and America’s largest grocer is looking at the future. He discusses how AI and automation could lead to a revolution in how we do our purchasing—enabling re-ordering, restocking of the literal shelves in our homes and guiding our shopping lists with little to no effort from consumers anymore. Plus, Bartlett reflects on his time as former President George W. Bush’s former counselor and communications director and the lessons he learned about leadership and crisis. —- Mosheh Oinounou (⁠@mosheh⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
