Target CEO Brian Cornell said in a television interview that price increases due to US President Donald Trump's tariffs on Mexico could be seen on store shelves as early as this week.

"Strong opinions continue to be publicly expressed both for and against diversity, equity and inclusion, and ESG [Environmental, Social, and Governance] initiatives," the company wrote. Walmart also noted that they are "subject to heightened scrutiny from consumers, investors, advocacy groups and public figures, potentially leading to consumer boycotts, negative publicity campaigns, litigation, and reputational harm." Walmart and Target aren't the only ones who are feeling the heat, CNN pointed out that other retailers, including Home Depot and Corona-parent Constellation Brands, are also sounding the alarm to investors about the risks of upsetting consumers.
