Speaking about the current state of India-US ties, Gor said, “I think we’re in a great place,” stressing that “one of the biggest anchors of this relationship is the bond between the President and the Prime Minister.”
He added that “that relationship has always remained strong” and said, “Sometimes the media likes to portray it as if something has happened, but the President and the Prime Minister are great friends.”
According to Gor, “That friendship goes back years and will continue for years to come,” and “Every time the two speak, great things happen.”
He further said that since arriving in India, “my goal has been to ensure that both sides remain in regular contact, keep moving the relationship forward, and identify win-win opportunities for both our countries.”
Describing Trump’s outlook towards India, Gor said, “The President is very warm on India,” recalling that “even last week when we were together in France with the Prime Minister, he spoke very highly of India.” He added that Trump “holds the Prime Minister and India in the highest regard,” has “always talked about the Prime Minister being a great friend of his personally,” and “always reminds me of his first trip to India and the vibrancy he saw there; it is something he has never forgotten.”
Praising PM Modi’s leadership, Gor said the Prime Minister is “incredibly dynamic, incredibly hands-on, and results-driven.” He added, “I see a lot of similarities between him and President Trump because they both love being hands-on and getting things done fast.”
According to Gor, “The Prime Minister wants something done, he moves on it. The President is the same way,” and “that is one of the core anchors of their relationship – they think alike. They want to deliver.”
On the broader partnership, Gor said, “We do a lot with India, and we will continue doing that.” He added that “it comes down to trust,” noting, “The United States trusts India, President Trump trusts Prime Minister Modi,” and said, “There are a lot of things that we can do together, and we will continue building on that.”
