PARIS, March 7 (Reuters) - CMA CGM is in talks with

shipyards about the possibility of having medium-sized container

vessels built in the United States, the French shipping group's

CEO Rodolphe Saade told Les Echos newspaper.

"We are in talks with several shipyards to see how long it

would take and at what cost," he said in an interview published

on Friday, a day after he unveiled with U.S. President Donald

Trump a plan to invest $20 billion in the United States.
