Walmart Inc. plans to eliminate around 1,500 corporate jobs in a cost-cutting U.S. restructuring to simplify operations and speed up decision-making. The cuts will affect teams in global tech operations, e-commerce fulfillment, and its advertising division, Walmart Connect. Executives said the company aims to reduce layers of complexity while also creating new roles aligned with strategic growth. The retail giant said it would raise some prices due to tariffs, drawing criticism from President Trump. The company reported strong sales growth and pledged to manage profits to stabilize prices. Walmart employs roughly 1.6 million U.S. workers, primarily in stores.
