India Addresses Trade Imbalances and Strategic Partnerships with EAEU, US, and China
India is navigating complex trade relationships with major partners like the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the US, and China. Finalizing the India-EAEU Free Trade Agreement aims to diversify trade beyond Russian crude oil and address a significant trade deficit. Meanwhile, US legislation threatens tariffs on Indian exports linked to Russian oil purchases, prompting concerns over economic leverage. Concurrently, India considers leveraging Chinese investment to correct a longstanding trade imbalance and reduce vulnerability to supply restrictions, seeking balanced economic engagement amid geopolitical challenges.
