I guess this was missed by some when Walmart made the announcement in Jan. 2013
Walmart Corporate - Walmart U.S. Manufacturing Commitment
We are committed to American renewal. In January 2013, Walmart announced it will buy an additional $50 billion in U.S. products in 10 years in an effort to grow U.S. manufacturing and encourage the creation of U.S. jobs.
When you add up what we spend each year, our pledge is to buy an additional $250 billion in American products.
We will accomplish this by working with suppliers to:
Increase what we already buy of U.S. manufactured goods
Source new to Walmart U.S. manufactured goods
Re-shore the manufacturing of goods we currently buy by facilitating and accelerating efforts of our suppliers
