What's Wrong with the EU-India Trade Deal?

U.S. Trade Talks with the UK || Peter Zeihan
1/30/2026
We haven't seen any real negotiations over the past year because the Trade Representative's office wasn't staffed. All that's been discussed are tariff levels, not full agreements, and nothing has been ratified. However, the Mother Country is the main exception to this lack of trade talks.

Why on Earth Would We Take Greenland? || Peter Zeihan
1/19/2026
