NEW DELHI -- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen holds talks with India's leaders in New Delhi this week, as the bloc faces an unprecedented strain in ties with the U.S. over President Donald Trump's policy shift on Russia's war in Ukraine and his threat to impose import tariffs.
Von der Leyen will be accompanied by 27 European Union commissioners in the leadership's first overseas trip since the president began her second term in December, signaling the importance she places on improving ties with India -- particularly given the EU strategy of derisking from China.
