ECB's Cipollone: Trump tariffs could lower Euro area economic growth and inflation
|Speaking in a pre-recorded interview at a financial conference on Tuesday, European Central Bank (ECB) board member Piero Cipollone said that US tariffs would weaken the economy, translating into lower consumption and thus reduced pressure on prices.
"All this put together makes me think that we will have a reduction in growth but also a reduction in inflation," he said.
