Gor, Trump discuss future of India-US strategic ties
US Ambassador to New Delhi, Sergio Gor, has said that he has discussed with President Donald Trump ways to build a “strong future” for India and the US.
Gor met Trump over dinner on Tuesday. His meeting with President Trump coincided with the US and Iran agreeing to a two-week ceasefire following nearly six weeks of military hostilities.
Gor also mentioned Trump’s unwavering determination to bring global stability. “Just had an outstanding dinner with President Trump. We discussed his unwavering determination to bring global stability, the historic achievements of his presidency, the strong future of India-US ties, and so much more! A very memorable evening as history unfolded in real time,” Gor posted on X on Wednesday.
The dinner comes as Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri reached Washington DC on Wednesday to review bilateral trade and defence ties, and discuss the escalating crisis in West Asia.
The visit comes as both sides work to stabilise the ties after a spell of uncertainty and strain. The relations witnessed a major downturn after Washington imposed punitive tariffs on India, and President Donald Trump made controversial assertions regarding his role in de-escalating the India-Pakistan military clashes last May.
Meanwhile, US envoy Gor earlier met US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick here and discussed the commercial roadmap for the two countries and the opening up of a market of 1.4 billion people for American products. Gor said he discussed with Lutnick a new Memorandum of Understanding that seeks to connect India’s AI scale with the American AI ecosystem, and also strong participation from New Delhi in the upcoming Select USA Summit near.
