US EditionWalmart Clarifies Position After Heiress Supports Anti-Trump Protest Ad
- On June 8, billionaire Walmart heiress Christy Walton funded a full-page New York Times ad urging peaceful nationwide protests called No Kings on June 14, coinciding with Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C.
- The ad and protests oppose President Trump's immigration policies and military parade, while Walton's spokesperson clarified she does not fund or endorse violence or Walmart involvement, which Walmart also distanced itself from.
- The advertisement featured a QR code linking to details about 1,800 scheduled protests nationwide, with the far-left group Indivisible organizing the campaign to rally opposition against government overreach and Trump’s policies.
- Trump supporters and allies, including Roger Stone and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, called for a Walmart boycott, linking Walton's ad to the company despite her lack of decision-making role and holding only 1.9% stake in Walmart.
- The controversy highlights ongoing culture war tensions involving major retailers and politics, with Walmart warning of price increases from tariffs and Trump admonishing the company, while the administration remains committed to its immigration and trade agenda.
