Jaishankar Meets US Ambassador Sergio Gor Ahead Of America Visit

Jaishankar’s visit to the US during February 4-5, which is yet to be formally announced by both sides, is being perceived as an opportunity to address strains in bilateral relations over the trade and tariff policies of the Trump administration, especially as he is expected to have a bilateral meeting with secretary of state Marco Rubio, people familiar with the matter said.

“Pleased to meet @USAmbIndia Sergio Gor today in New Delhi. Our conversation covered the many dimensions of our partnership,” Jaishankar said on social media. “Welcomed him and expressed confidence that he would contribute to the strengthening of India-US relations.”

Gor said in a social media post that he and Jaishankar had a “highly substantive discussion that covered everything from defence, trade, critical minerals, and working towards our common interests”.
