Jaishankar met with U.S. Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, with both sides pledging to advance the U.S.-India relationship, according to the State Department. Gor, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, awaits Senate confirmation for his ambassadorial post. Previously, Gor directed the White House personnel office, overseeing political appointments across the administration. “Improving U.S.-India trade ties will not only bolster U.S. competitiveness, but also reduce China’s economic leverage over other nations,” Gor said during his confirmation hearing. With high-level meetings and renewed diplomatic attention, both sides appear committed to steering the relationship toward greater stability despite recent trade tensions.
