• The European Union shows signs of undertaking a strategic change, using its geostrategic strength, free trade, to expand its global influence.
• The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced an ambitious common agreement project with India and defended the sovereignty of Greenland against Donald Trump's annexation threats.
• The European strategy focuses on reducing its dependence on the US and opening its market to large global growth centers.
• The agreement with India, added to those already reached with Mercosur, Australia, the Philippines, the Emirates or Malaysia, seeks to strengthen the European position in geopolitics and reduce its vulnerability to US tariff pressure.
• The EU is seeking to align itself with the center of gravity of global growth, which has shifted towards the Indo-Pacific.

Conclusion: Although threatened by US protectionism and Chinese autocracy, the EU seems to be charting its own global trajectory and transforming free trade into power.
