Описание: Modi-Trump Trade Deal Epstein Files Pressure? | The Future Of India-EU-Russia Trade Deals? | PZ LIVE

A *major trade breakthrough* between *India and the United States* has just been announced — but questions are swirling. Was *Prime Minister Narendra Modi pressured by Trump* to give up India’s strategic trade autonomy? Did external factors like the Epstein files play a role in shaping the deal? And what does this mean for **India’s future relationships with the EU and Russia**?

In this PZ LIVE geopolitical breakdown, we unpack the latest developments, explain the real terms of the trade agreement, and explore how this could reshape global trade alliances — from New Delhi to Brussels and Moscow.

• *The India-US trade deal’s core facts:* Tariffs on Indian exports to the U.S. are being slashed from punitive levels (~50 %) down to around **18 %**, then potentially zero in future phases — a major reset of bilateral trade relations. ([The Times of India][1])
• *Trump’s conditions and claims:* President Trump publicly stated that *India agreed to halt Russian oil purchases* and pivot toward U.S. (and possibly Venezuelan) energy imports as part of the trade deal. ([The Times of India][2])
• *India’s actual position:* Indian government officials have not confirmed any formal commitment to stop buying Russian crude, and the Kremlin likewise says Delhi hasn’t communicated such a decision. ([Reuters][3])
• *Strategic autonomy vs. pressure:* While Trump frames this as a diplomatic victory tied to geopolitical pressure on Russia, many analysts note that *energy diversification is in India’s own strategic interest* and not solely a U.S. imposition. ([Business Standard][4])
• *India-EU trade deal context:* India also recently concluded a **long-pending free trade agreement with the EU — dubbed the “mother of all deals” — after nearly 20 years of negotiations, signaling that Delhi is pursuing multiple global partnerships. ([Wikipedia][5])
• *Future of India-Russia ties:* Moscow publicly says ties with India remain “most important,” and sees New Delhi’s diversified oil strategy as consistent with longstanding practice, not a shift forced by Washington. ([Business Standard][4])
• *Epstein files & political rhetoric:* Some political figures have speculated about external pressure points — including references to the Epstein files — but those claims aren’t verified and are *not confirmed as part of official diplomacy* (and have been rejected by the Indian government).

🌍 *Why This Matters:*
This isn’t just a trade deal — it’s a *strategic alignment test case* for how India balances its relationship with the U.S., the EU, and Russia amid global geopolitical competition. India’s future trade picture now includes *multiple big-power partnerships with overlapping interests and pressures.*

👇 *Join the debate:*
Is India *trading strategic autonomy for economic gain**, or is this a *pragmatic shift in a multipolar world? Share your view in the comments!
