President Donald Trump has nominated Sergio Gor, his longtime aide and current Director of the White House Office of Presidential Personnel, as the next U.S. Ambassador to India. Gor, 38, is also appointed as Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs. Trump praised Gor for his loyalty and efficiency, noting his role in staffing the administration. The nomination comes at a time of strained U.S.-India relations, with the U.S. imposing a 25% tariff on Indian goods, set to double to 50% by August 27, over India's increased purchases of Russian oil.
