At the time of the Donald Trump tax war, launching a commercial look at the United States, it may seem a little crazy. However, the airline Fedex does not intend to let the handcuffs put on the wrists. The trade war was even an opportunity for Fedex: European exporters have shipped Dare-Dare stocks of goods to Memphis in the United States to avoid new taxes.

The threat of entrance taxes did not affect planes to the white, Violette and Orange dress reassures Rudi Loontian, the operational director of the Frêt company in Liège. On the contrary, it was an opportunity to make money. And it was not a question of hanging up on the way to take advantage of it.
– We have received a temporary increase in flows between Europe and the United States to avoid extra costs. The companies have sent a little more goods than normally, but for the moment, it is already stabilizing.
– You don’t risk a scissor effect afterwards? A fall in exports to the United States?
-– We have the risks up and down. So nobody really knows how to see what will happen. All I can answer is that we have a strategy that meets a request. This request is still there and we will continue to offer this product.
That is to say, fly two planes instead of one between Liège and Memphis.
Fedex had deleted 670 jobs in Liège after buying TNT. She assures us to have started to re -engage. These are largely part -time workers who have the opportunity to work more. Fedex’s Liège costume remains a little eliminated in the sleeves with around 1,300 workers in Liège, still far from the 2000 of the TNT era.
