North American trade disputes an opportunity for CPKC, CEO says

NEW YORK — Canadian Pacific Kansas City CEO Keith Creel looks at the uncertainty swirling around North American trade and sees opportunity.

CPKC (NASDAQ: CP) has a lot riding on the outcome of tariff spats involving the U.S., Canada and Mexico: The 2023 merger of Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern was a $30 billion bet on North American trade.

If tariffs ultimately make U.S. markets less attractive to companies based in Canada and Mexico, then those companies are going to look for new...

Improved Cumberland, Maryland, yard helps CSX reduce train starts

NEW YORK — CSX is moving more tonnage on fewer trains this year as part of a significant reduction in the number of road train starts.

The 10% decline in coal volume this year has contributed to the reduction, Chief Financial Officer Sean Pelkey told an investor conference Tuesday. “But there’s a significant amount of reengineering of the network,” he said. “The Cumberland Yard … has been a big driver of that.”

CSX has completed a reconfiguration of the yard in Cumberland, Maryland, that nearly...

Retail trade groups: 25% tariffs a ‘crushing’ burden for American families

Saying 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada would hurt American families, retailers and apparel importers on Tuesday called on the Trump administration to open talks on border issues to avoid a devastating trade war with two of the United States’ largest business partners.

The U.S. also announced another 10% tariff on imports from China, for a total 20% levy on exports from that country.

The latest move by Washington prompted a round of retaliatory tariffs by China of 15% on a variety of...

The Light Load: I for one will not starve if tariffs fry Canadian ‘bacon’

Wherever you fine folks stand on the Tariff Terror allegedly coming down the trade pike, can we all agree there’s a silver lining if the U.S. slaps Truckasaurus-grade levies on every import from Spain to Sumatra?

Oh, I don’t mean the economics of it. We may be huddling in mud shacks or lounging in castles of gold six months from now for all the sense I can make of who stands to benefit when the tariffs hit.

But think of the frightful products that it’ll be soooo much harder to rain down on...

Trump says he will slap 25% tariffs on imports from EU

President Donald Trump has added the nations of the European Union to those that face stiff tariffs on goods they export to the United States.

In a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday Trump said in response to a question about possible tariffs on the EU, “We’ll be announcing it very soon, and it’ll be 25%, generally speaking, and that’ll be on cars and all other things.”

Airbus on Thursday said it is pushing back the commercial release of the all-new A350 freighter until the second half of 2027 because of ongoing production challenges at supplier Spirit AeroSystems.

The news puts further pressure on capacity for large freighter aircraft later this decade as a significant portion of the global fleet reaches retirement age.

Problems producing a fuselage section at Wichita, Kansas-based Spirit AeroSystems have slowed the manufacturing ramp-up of the passenger...
