European Union leaders — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President António Costa — visited India as chief guests for Republic Day 2026, reinforcing a strong strategic partnership amid global uncertainty and rising U.S. tariff tensions. Von der Leyen highlighted that “a successful India makes the world more stable, prosperous and secure,” while both sides moved closer to sealing a historic India‑EU Free Trade Agreement — dubbed the “Mother of All Deals.” This visit and accompanying statements send a clear message to the world — including **U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff policies — that India and the EU are aligning on openness, cooperation, and shared economic interests. #IndiaEU #EUinIndia #TrumpTariffs #GlobalTrade #MotherOfAllDeals #UrsulavonderLeyen #AntonioCosta #RepublicDay2026 #StrategicPartnership n18oc_live News18 Mobile App - https://onelink.to/desc-youtube
