US EditionAmid tense tariff talks, PM Modi meets US ambassador-designate to India
- On October 11, US Ambassador‑designate Sergio Gor arrived at the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi, where officials received him and he met External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
- Amid trade strains, the visit aims to address outstanding tariff disputes as the Trump administration imposed 50% tariffs and related levies India called "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable".
- Gor was nominated in August and confirmed by the US Senate in an en bloc vote with 51 senators for and 47 against among 107 nominees, accompanied by Michael J. Rigas.
- Officials clarified Gor will not present credentials during this visit and the formal presentation will occur later, with both sides describing exchanges as productive to promote the India‑US relationship.
- Seen as a signal, Gor's appointment underscores Washington's intent to sustain ties with India; he also serves as US Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs, focusing on defence, trade, technology and Indo-Pacific cooperation.
