Walmart has announced it is launching a plan to spend $350 billion in the next 10 years on supplies produced, grown, or assembled in the U.S. as part of a goal to increase its support for small and diverse suppliers in the U.S. The company hopes the program will help to reduce carbon emissions as well.
Walmart plans to work with manufacturers and others through a program called "American Lighthouses." The program’s goal is to reduce barriers to U.S. production and help return more manufacturing to the U.S.
