They are worried about Walmart getting hurt? Oh well gee whiz, that’s too bad. Every now and then corrections happen, and this is one of them. When Walmart started to grow thousands of other businesses were put out of business. Those folks that lost their business have by now found something else to do to earn a living. Same will happen with Walmart if they lose their rear ends. Something else will happen to take up the slack. It’s how a free economy works.

Canada is currently our 2nd largest goods trading partner with $582.4 billion in total (two way) goods trade during 2017. Goods exports totaled $282.5 billion; goods imports totaled $300.0 billion. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Canada was $17.5 billion in 2017.
The huge trade deficit with China indicates that China isn’t playing fair.

It will hit their bottom line, but it won't break the company.
Apple will just have to hire children here in the USA to make their products.. : )
