BERLIN, April 30 (Reuters) - The trade policy of U.S.
President Donald Trump is particularly tough on German shipping
company Hapag-Lloyd ( HLAGF ) because of the high proportion of
volumes related to the United States in global freight, the
chief executive said on Wednesday.
Rolf Habben Jansen said 22% of global container freight and
around 27% of Hapag's own cargo volume was connected to the
U.S., adding, "Against this backdrop, U.S. tariffs are
particularly tough."
