US EditionTrump nominates Sergio Gor to be next US ambassador to India
Sergio Gor will manage strained U.S.-India relations amid planned tariff increases and stalled trade talks, overseeing a $190 billion bilateral trade partnership, officials said.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump said he would nominate Sergio Gor as U.S. ambassador to India, with Gor remaining White House personnel director until U.S. Senate confirmation.
- Amid a tariff clash that began with 25% duties, Trump first imposed additional tariffs then said they would double to 50% from August 27, straining U.S.-India trade talks over agriculture and dairy access.
- Gor will take on both ambassador and special envoy duties, with his nomination arriving nearly seven months after Eric Garcetti, former U.S. Ambassador to India, stepped down.
- The White House framed the pick as driven by trust, noting Trump called Sergio Gor `a great friend, who has been at my side for many years` and stressed his role to help `MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN`.
- With more than $190 billion in bilateral trade at stake, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused India of profiteering from Russian oil purchases, while stalled talks on agriculture and dairy market access intensify tensions.
