DANISH shipping giant maersk reported strong US demand in early 2025 and expects that momentum to continue, though it warned that upcoming tariff measures from President Donald Trump could cloud the outlook, reports Reuters.
The company's regular global market update was released ahead of Trump's expected announcement of new tariffs targeting countries that impose duties on American goods.
Maersk stated US growth remains our base case, but geopolitical volatility continues to obscure economic clarity.
The prospect of additional tariffs has unsettled the shipping sector, raising concerns about weakened transport demand amid escalating trade tensions.
Maersk cautioned that new US tariffs could dampen global trade flows, even after a strong start to the year. The company said it is closely tracking early signs of a potential slowdown in supply chain momentum.
