The recent trade agreements involving India and major global entities such as the European Union (EU) and the United States have marked significant milestones in international trade relations. On January 27, 2026, Al Jazeera reported that India and the EU concluded a landmark trade deal after nearly two decades of negotiations, creating a market valued at $27 trillion. This agreement, described by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as the 'mother of all deals,' grants duty-free access to 99% of Indian exports, significantly impacting sectors like textiles, apparel, and pharmaceuticals (Economic Times, January 30, 2026). The Guardian highlighted this deal as a strategic shift away from coercive trade practices, emphasizing cooperation and respect for sovereignty, particularly in response to the US's previous tariff strategies (The Guardian, February 01, 2026). Meanwhile, the South China Morning Post noted the geopolitical implications, suggesting the deal undermines US economic coercion by strengthening India's ties with the EU (January 31, 2026).
