The India-EU Free Trade Agreement, boosting India’s access to EU markets, is seen as a response to U.S. trade policies under Trump.

America. India is the main beneficiary of the recently signed India-EU Free Trade Agreement, according to Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, who cited increased market access and possible labor mobility rights. He blamed the United States for the EU's turn toward India. President Trump's trade policies, which prioritize domestic production and place restrictions on foreign markets, have forced the EU to look for alternate trade routes. The deal, which has been called "transformative," removes tariffs on almost all exports between the two blocs, which together account for a market worth more than $24 trillion. It is anticipated that important industries like automobiles, textiles, and pharmaceuticals will see substantial growth. Greer added that despite U.S. efforts, India still imports Russian oil. sanctions, a 25% tariff, and ongoing scrutiny to curtail such purchases.
