Overview
The European Central Bank (ECB) has cut interest rates multiple times to address lower inflation and stimulate economic growth in the eurozone.
These rate cuts come amid rising trade tensions due to US tariffs and threats from President Trump's trade policies.
The EU is actively negotiating a trade agreement with the US while implementing tariffs on American goods as a countermeasure.
Concerns over Trump's trade war have led to speculation about further ECB rate cuts, risking potential backlash from the US administration.
Overall economic growth in the eurozone has slowed, prompting the ECB to take measures to boost the sluggish economy through interest rate adjustments.
