NEW DELHI: US Ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi as part of a visit aimed at recalibrating the India–US relationship, currently strained by trade and tariff disputes.

The meeting marks an important diplomatic step ahead of Gor's formal assumption of office early next year.

“Glad to receive Mr. Sergio Gor, Ambassador-designate of the US to India. I’m confident that his tenure will further strengthen the India–US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership,” Modi said in a post on X.

As a symbolic gesture, Gor presented Modi with a signed and framed photograph from a joint press conference at the White House earlier this year, featuring President Donald Trump’s handwritten message: “Mr Prime Minister, you are great.”
