Sergio Gor gives update on India-US trade deal
Sergio Gor, the US ambassador to India, provided an update on the US-India trade deal at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum. According to Gor, almost all aspects of the agreement are in principle, though there are still legal and technical details to finalize. He emphasized that the bill has passed the Senate with a bipartisan majority, unlike the push for a 100% tariff on countries buying Russian oil, which is not backed by the White House or President Trump.
The ambassador highlighted the strong US-India relationship, noting that both the Trump and Modi administrations share a "deep and personal friendship." They are both forward-thinking, results-driven leaders who want to take action quickly. Gor also pointed out that India's importance to the US is evident in the presence of high-level government officials visiting the country, including Secretary Rubio, who is set to return for a longer visit in October.
Gor further discussed the US-China relationship and India's complex situation with Pakistan and Turkey, where India maintains an adversarial stance. He explained that the US has to engage with all neighboring countries, regardless of the relationship dynamics.
