Trade deal: India and EU to announce FTA amid Trump tariff tensions

India and the European Union are set to announce a landmark trade deal after nearly two decades of negotiations. The agreement, described as "the mother of all trade deals," aims to deepen economic ties between the two sides amid geopolitical tensions with the US. The announcement is expected in Delhi following meetings between Ursula von der Leyen, António Luís Santos da Costa, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While the deal will expand market access for Indian exports to Europe, it also seeks to ease entry for European investments and goods into India. The agreement is expected to be formally signed later this year after approval by the European Parliament and Council.
