European Central Bank Official: Tariffs Harm the U.S. More Than China

According to Reuters, European Central Bank Governing Council member Fabio Panetta stated that the costs of U.S. President Trump's tariffs are "primarily borne by the United States." He noted that U.S. imports from China have declined but have shifted towards Mexico, Vietnam, and Taiwan. Panetta also suggested that inexpensive Chinese imports could lead to a faster decline in inflation within the eurozone, while inflation risks remain two-sided.

"Trump's tariffs mainly impact the U.S. economy, leading to a reallocation of trade rather than a significant reduction in Chinese imports. This shift may also influence inflation dynamics in the eurozone."
