US-India trade deal nearly final, Rubio to visit India in October: Sergio Gor

Sergio Gor, the US ambassador to India, stated that virtually every aspect of the US-India trade deal is in place, barring the final legal technicalities. Gor clarified that the bipartisan push for the bill in Congress is distinct from the White House's stance, which has not actively advocated for it. The ambassador emphasized that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine must end, deeming it a grave matter for both nations.

The US-India relationship holds paramount importance for the United States, as evidenced by the presence of top administration officials during their frequent visits to India. Gor highlighted the deep friendship between US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing that Modi stood by Trump during challenging times, notably after his loss in the 2020 elections.
