US Ambassador Sergio Gor, nicknamed "Mayor of Mar-a-Lago" for his proximity to President Trump, has emerged as the key figure behind the India-US trade deal within just one month of taking charge. The former DJ-turned-diplomat arrived in New Delhi on January 12 with a mission to restore warmth in bilateral ties. Gor maintained optimistic messaging, emphasized Trump-Modi friendship, and fast-tracked trade negotiations at the Chanakyapuri embassy complex. Analysts credit him for acting as a crucial bridge between Trump and India, helping reduce tariffs from 50% to 18%. His reputation as Trump's reliable foot soldier and trusted confidant proved instrumental in arresting the slide in relations. (PC: India Today)
