Walmart will resume charging customers who are part of its Walmart+ Assist program $ 6.99 if their online order does not meet a $ 35 minimum.

The fee is a program that grants customers 50% off a Walmart+ membership if they are recipients of a qualifying government aid program, such as SNAP, Medicaid , or Federal Public Housing Assistance .

It was later speculated that Walmart made the decision to bring back the fee due to President Donald Trump ’s tariffs.
