What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBloomberg reports China is warning the European Union it has tools ready if trade tensions escalate.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorJoining us by satellite is Marguerite Vandersloop-Cho, CEO of Continental Crate and Pallet.

  3. Marguerite Vandersloop-ChoChip, thrilled to be here. Let me be clear: Continental Crate is a resilient, agile, synergy-forward box company.

  4. Marguerite Vandersloop-ChoWe see tariffs as just very expensive hugs.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBloomberg's angle is that this could hit multinational earnings and supply chains. Are your supply chains ready for that?

  6. Marguerite Vandersloop-ChoAbsolutely. Our supply chain is a robust, living ecosystem.

  7. Marguerite Vandersloop-ChoAlso, a container of our pallets has been sitting in a harbor since March, and we've named it Gary.

  8. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGary. Okay. But Ms. Vandersloop-Cho, are you worried, or not worried? Because Bloomberg says tools are ready.

  9. Marguerite Vandersloop-ChoI'm not worried, I'm pre-worried, which is a proactive mindset. Last night I screamed into a pallet for forty minutes.

  10. Marguerite Vandersloop-ChoIt was very productive. #$%&!, it was cathartic.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat is the most honest thing a CEO has said on this network, and I once interviewed a man who ran a corn maze.

  12. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWe'll have to leave it there. Thanks to Marguerite, and best of luck to Gary. Back to the desk.
