China 's Ministry of Commerce has held talks with Walmart after the U.S. retail giant reportedly requested price cuts from Chinese suppliers to offset tariff costs.

Bloomberg reported last Thursday that Walmart had asked some Chinese suppliers, including makers of kitchenware and clothing, to lower prices by as much as 10% for each round of tariffs.

Walmart 's reported move "may create the risk of supply chain disruption and harm the interests of Chinese and American companies and American consumers," state media said.
