Gor called it an “honour” to his life to represent the United States, also adding that he has never been proud.
“Beyond grateful to Donald Trump for his incredible trust and confidence in nominating me to be his next US Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs! Nothing has made me prouder than to serve the American people through the GREAT work of this Administration! Our White House has achieved historic results in MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! It will be the honour of my life to represent the United States,” he said.

US President Donald Trump made the announcement on Friday in a social media post. He said that Gor is a “great friend, who has been at my side for many years”.
“I am pleased to announce that I am promoting Sergio Gor to be our next United States Ambassador to the Republic of India,” he said.
He would also serve as a special envoy for South and Central Asian affairs, Trump said.
“Gor has worked on my historic presidential campaigns, published my best-selling books, and run one of the biggest Super PACs, which supported our movement,” he wrote.
Vice President JD Vance also reacted to the development and said Gor “will make a fantastic ambassador for our country to India”.
Gor’s nomination comes amid rising friction between the U.S. and India, triggered by the Trump administration’s decision to impose 50 per cent tariffs on Indian imports, along with a 25 per cent surcharge—effective August 28—penalising India’s continued oil trade with Russia.
