A recent video went viral online, claiming that Walmart planned to close all 5,000 of its stores in the United States and exit the American market.
The clip, posted on a YouTube channel called Maddow's Brief, featured a seemingly live broadcast of TV host and liberal political commentator Rachel Maddow as she announces the alleged closures. According to the video, Walmart was supposedly shutting its stores due to rising grocery costs caused by tariffs and supply chain pressures. The footage claimed that the closures would occur nationwide, leaving millions of Americans without access to Walmart's retail outlets.
