BoE's Greene says US tariffs likely to put downward pressure on UK inflation

April 22 (Reuters) - Britain is more likely to see lower than higher inflation as a result of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, Bank of England policymaker Megan Greene said on Tuesday.

Greene said Britain's decision not to levy reciprocal tariffs meant it was likely to become a destination for cheaper goods from Asia and the European Union.

"The tariffs actually represent more of a disinflationary risk than an inflationary risk," Greene told Bloomberg TV.

However, she said she remained concerned about domestic inflation pressures in Britain due to a lack of supply capacity, adding that she had up to now taken a "cautious" approach to rate cuts.
