US Ambassador-designate Sergio Gor revealed that President Donald Trump considers Prime Minister Narendra Modi "a great and personal friend" after their meeting in Delhi on Saturday. Gor, a Trump inner-circle member, is on a six-day India visit with Deputy Secretary Michael Rigas to meet senior functionaries. He called the Modi meeting "incredible," discussing defence, trade, and technology. PM Modi expressed confidence Gor's tenure will strengthen the Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership. Gor also met External Affairs Minister Jaishankar and Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. The visit, occurring before Gor formally presents credentials in January, aims to restore bilateral relations to even keel amid recent strains, with India being America's strategic partner.
