India–EU Relations

Facing repeated tariff threats from the Trump administration — including disputes over Greenland and electric-vehicle tariffs — EU trading partners moved to speed long-stalled megadeals like EU–India and EU–Mercosur to diversify away from U.S. exposure. The EU–India pact cuts Indian tariffs on EU autos from as high as 110% to 10% and opens EU markets for Indian farmers, textiles and other exporters, with EU–India trade now about $137 billion versus roughly $132 billion with the U.S., and experts say these agreements were accelerated as governments also reduce reliance on U.S. tech services and dollar assets.
