The trade war between the US and China continues to rage with tariffs and economic threats.
But who will pay the real price in this conflict?
As an economic bloc dependent on global trade, Europe is the biggest casualty caught in the middle of the US-China power struggle.
The European Central Bank (ECB) continues to brace for the worst, with board member Piero Cipollone warning that the continent faces significant risks.
While the European economy is considered to be doing well with inflation having eased to 2.5%, global tensions could derail the still fragile economic recovery.
With Trump's latest 10% tariff on China, Beijing could flood Europe with cheap goods, putting pressure on local industries.
The ECB has already hit the emergency button five times since June, with interest rate cuts, but the economy has yet to fully recover.
Cipollone has signaled that more cuts are possible, but not anytime soon.
With Europe caught between the economic strategies of two superpowers, the question now is – will the continent survive, or simply become a victim in a global game?
