Ambassador of US Presidents Donald Trump for India on Thursday, September 11, said that Washington and the new Delhi were not “far apart” when they conclude an agreement on tariffs. Sergio Gor also said that the problem between India and the US for 50 % of Indian products should be solved in a few weeks, even though Donald Trump is pushing the European Union leader to increase tariffs in India and China to punish the country for Russian energy purchases.
“We are not so far apart on the agreement on these tariffs,” said Sergio Gor, close to Trump Aide, at his confirmation negotiations of the Senate, adding, “I think it will be solved in the next few weeks.”

Sergio Gor also stressed that India is “one of the most important relationships that our nation has in the world”. He said, “As Minister Rubio noted, India is one of the most important relationships that our nation has in the world. If confirmed as an ambassador, I will try to meet the presidential agenda and strengthen the US interests by increasing our defense cooperation, ensuring fair and beneficial trade and deepening technology.”
The United States imposed steep tariffs on a number of Indian goods that quoted concerns about business imbalances and added a layer of tension in economic links in the US and India. After Washington announced 25 percent of tariffs in India, Washington ordered another 25 percent to buy oil in the new Delhi from Russia.
Development comes as President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has undertook to speak and continue business negotiations and signal possible thawing after weeks of blistering for tariffs and Russian oil purchases.
On Tuesday, September 9, Donald Trump, on Tuesday, September 9th, he wrote: “I am pleased to announce that India and the United States are continuing to negotiate on business obstacles between our two nations. I look forward to talking to my very good friend, Prime Minister Modim.”
PM Modi soon replied to X and said he was looking forward to an interview with Donald Trump and re -confirms that the US and India are “close and natural partners”.
“I am convinced that our business negotiations will prepare a way to unlock the unlimited partnership potential in India and the US,” PM Modi said. “Our teams are working on closing these discussions first.”
