The United States and India are inching closer to finalizing their long-anticipated trade agreement. On his first day in office, newly appointed U.S. Ambassador Sergio Gor announced in New Delhi that negotiations are ongoing and another key call between the two sides is already on the calendar.
"True allies may sometimes disagree, but they always find their way back to common ground," Gor told embassy staff. He confirmed that both governments are actively engaged and committed to reaching a deal.

India’s Complexity Slows the Process, But Resolve Remains
Gor noted that the challenges primarily stem from India’s sheer size and economic complexity. The U.S. initially planned to finalize the agreement early in Trump’s second term, but unresolved issues caused delays.
One sticking point: import tariffs. The U.S. imposed duties of up to 50% on Indian goods—one of the highest in the world—as a response to India’s growing energy imports from Russia.
Tensions were further fueled by claims that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi never called Trump to close the deal. The remark, made by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, stirred backlash in New Delhi. Indian officials were also angered by Trump’s past claims of personally ending the India-Pakistan conflict—something India strongly denied.
Seeking to ease tensions, Gor emphasized the personal bond between the two leaders. "I can attest that Trump’s friendship with Prime Minister Modi is real," he said during a speech on the embassy steps, affirming high-level collaboration between both nations.

India Set to Join the Elite Pax Silica Tech Alliance
Gor also revealed that India will soon be invited to join “Pax Silica,” a new tech alliance led by the U.S. and already including Japan, South Korea, the U.K., and Israel. The initiative aims to build an independent, secure supply chain for semiconductors, AI, and rare earths.
“Pax Silica is a U.S.-led strategic initiative to build a resilient and innovative silicon supply chain—from critical minerals and energy inputs to advanced chip manufacturing, AI development, and logistics,” Gor explained. India’s formal invitation is expected next month.
Behind the scenes, Trump’s administration is moving fast: acquiring stakes in mining and chip-making firms, investing in rare earth projects, and leveraging advanced chip export licenses as a key diplomatic tool.

Gor Takes the Helm to Strengthen Strategic Ties
Sergio Gor, a longtime Trump loyalist and former head of the Presidential Personnel Office, now holds one of the most strategic diplomatic positions in South Asia. While new to the region, he has deep experience in White House operations—and a clear mission: complete the U.S.-India trade deal and anchor India as a core tech ally of the West.
He replaces Eric Garcetti, former Los Angeles mayor and Biden campaign supporter, marking another Trump-era shift in global influence.
Whether Gor can secure the long-delayed deal remains to be seen. But with negotiations back on track and India poised to join the Pax Silica alliance, the path to a new era of U.S.-India cooperation appears wide open.
