If Europe's growth slows due to Trump's tariffs, the European Central Bank (ECB) may be forced to react aggressively, cutting rates to near zero by 2025. Conversely, the US Federal Reserve may continue to raise rates, leading to "one of the biggest and longest-running monetary policy differences" between the ECB and the Fed since the creation of the euro in 1999, writes EuroNews.
