2.On Tuesday, India and the European Union announced a “landmark” free trade deal that would remove or reduce tariffs on more than 90% of goods traded between them.

It also lands amid a growing wave of bilateral trade agreements, as countries recalibrate supply chains and commercial ties in response to Washington’s increasingly muscular use of tariffs.
