- •European leaders like French President Macron and German Chancellor Merz are prioritizing trade with China to offset US tariff impacts, separating security from economic needs.
- •Canada, a close US neighbor, is also diversifying its trade relations, with PM Mark Carney visiting both China and India.
- •India has emerged as a 'sweet spot' and a balancing power, attracting Western countries for trade deals and as a 'China Plus One' strategy due to its large, democratic market.
