lan Flores Mar 17 4:39pm | Last reply Mar 17 5:51pm Article: Big U.S. Retailers Playing Hardball On Tariffs - -- Home Depot, Target, Walmart lean on suppliers in China to share the costs >> This article discusses the ways multiple big retailers such as Target and Walmart are trying to navigate the tariffs president Trump is intended to impose. It talks about how they're trying to find new suppliers that they can use to substitute the current ones they have or trying to renegotiate with current ones and help lower the prices in order to maintain that strong relationship. This relates to GSCM because it discusses a bit of Keiretsu and how these retailers are trying to use the relationships they built with suppliers to lower prices and work with each other as well as build new ones with new suppliers in case they need them. It discusses the difficulty of the unknowns as well because they are not sure exactly which tariffs will actually go through and which ones won't.
