The world's biggest shipping company warns Trump's trade war will hurt America more than anyone else

The CEO of Maersk, the world's largest shipping company, says the impact of President Donald Trump's trade war will be bigger in the US than anywhere else.

It could knock 4% off US trade annually, Soren Skou said at an event in Denmark.

The impact would be particularly large, he said, if the US attempted to place tariffs on consumer goods coming from China.

And last year we reportedly spent $9.1 billion just on Halloween. A little kick-off to the big binge.
