Walmart, Coca-Cola Plan Price Hikes Due to Tariffs
Here's how Trump's tariffs will affect prices on everyday goods.
By Stephanie Asymkos August 16, 2018 Find a Company
Tariffs imposed by the Trump administration have affected countries all over the world.
American companies are affected by retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
As a result of increasing costs — in part due to tariffs — of transportation of raw materials, U.S. consumers will now have to pay more for some goods offered by American brands.
Americans have endured price hikes at the pump in recent months. And now, higher shopping bills for Americans are the next thing on the list of unwelcome effects of Trump’s tariffs. The trade war launched by the Trump administration’s tariffs has resulted in retaliatory tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of goods from around the world. Americans are feeling the pain — and it’s about to get worse.
The price of wood pulp — which is found in common household products like diapers — has risen over the last year and is expected to stay high through next year, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. That’s because the wood pulp industry suffers global logistical problems surrounding shipping and manufacturing; it’s affected by U.S. tariffs and retaliatory trade restrictions imposed by China. Household consumer product industry giants have been faced with the choice to absorb the increased cost or pass the increase on to consumers.
Procter & Gamble Co., Kimberly-Clark Corp., Nestle SA, and Coca-Cola Co. have announced imminent price increases on household consumer staples. That’s going to make it harder for retailers like Walmart to keep prices low. As the global wood pulp market continues its instability and the effects trickle down to consumers, expect the following products to make shopping bills jump:
Diapers and training pants, specifically Pampers, Huggies, Pull-Ups and GoodNites brands
Paper towels, specifically Bounty and Viva brands
Tissues, specifically Puffs and Kleenex brands
Toilet paper, specifically Charmin and Scott brands

If Trump destroys the toilet paper market the collapse of the American Empire can't be far behind.

Too bad paper products are a billion dollar industry and costs them next to nothing to make, this is a just a thinly veiled cash grab and you are all too distracted by Trump to notice it.

Do you maintain a tight tool?

So, they're squeezing a few quarter's out of our Charmin?
I know it costs money to make money and Trump's just trying to make our trade market better for the US. So, i'll roll with it.

Trump said he'd drain the swamp, not fix your swamp ass.

I figure Trump will be affected the most by this, seeing how full of shit he is.

Do you prefer to use Kleenex or Puffs to wipe your nose when not using your sleeve, shirt tail, toilet paper, curtain panel, paper towel, mother's apron?

Always just "farmer's blow".
My mother's apron was buried with her 3 years ago.
