Walmart has already sourced 2/3rds of the merchandise they sell in the US. They have had a program for many years incentivizing domestic production. By 2027 80% will be made here. They are returning to their roots of everything made in US that is possible. Remember the commercials of Sam? The remaining 20% is spit between many countries a lot of which do not have the tariff imbalance China has.

The effects of this tariff balancing will be a lot less than the doomsayers and a bit more than overly optimistic people. Look at it this way. If you can produce a sea container of merchandise for about 15k-20k more than if it were made in China it would be about the same costs. A 40ft ocean container has a capacity of 2,390 cubic feet and can hold up to 20 standard pallets.  (use 40 as the product would be floor stacked)
