President Donald Trump has announced a $20 billion investment in the United States by French shipping giant CMA CGM, the world's third-largest shipping company. The investment will focus on shipping logistics, infrastructure, and terminals, and is expected to create 10,000 new jobs.
The announcement was made at the White House, where Trump was joined by CMA CGM CEO Rodolphe Saadé. Saadé expressed enthusiasm for the initiative and hinted at potential additional investments in the coming weeks. The company also committed to increasing the number of American-flagged ships it operates from 10 to 30.
Trump noted that the investment was influenced by the recent presidential election and mentioned plans to unveil a new government program for shipbuilding, including potential tax incentives, to further boost the U.S. maritime industry.
