Sergio Gor, a prominent member of President Donald Trump's inner circle, will soon assume his role as the US ambassador to India. His arrival occurs during a period of strained relations between the two nations, largely due to increased tariffs imposed by the US on Indian goods.

Appointed by President Trump in August, Gor brings a wealth of experience, having served as the White House personnel director. His primary objective will be to mend the fraying ties between the US and India, a relationship that holds strategic importance for both countries.

Gor, 38, has already laid the groundwork by visiting India and meeting key leaders, such as Prime Minister Modi, highlighting his commitment to strengthening bilateral relations. Efforts towards a trade agreement addressing the contentious tariff issues are anticipated to be a focal point of his diplomatic mission.
