India’s push to rapidly sign new trade agreements is sending a clear signal to Washington, as pressure mounts from tariffs threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump against several trading partners, Bloomberg reported.

The drive to conclude a series of trade deals reflects broader shifts in the global economic and political landscape, the report said, with trade tensions and uncertainty over U.S. policy prompting major economies to reposition their trade strategies.

Countries are increasingly seeking to build wider networks of partnerships to diversify risks and reduce reliance on specific markets, Bloomberg added, amid growing global protectionism.
