DAYS AFTER HIS appointment as the US Ambassador to India was confirmed by the Senate, Sergio Gor is travelling to India for five days. His visit comes amid tensions over the 50 per cent US tariffs and increased H-1B visa fees.
The development follows a phone call between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump on Thursday night, when Modi said he congratulated Trump on the "success of the historic Gaza peace plan".
Sources said that meetings with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh are being planned. A meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also not being ruled out. Gor is also likely to meet top business leaders, apart from senior officials in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and other key ministries. A meeting with the US Embassy staff and consulates is also being planned.
