Ahead Of Modi-Trump Talks, Sergio Gor Tells CNN-News18: 'Looking Forward To It' Published By, Last Updated: June 17, 2026, 18:28 IST PM Modi and Trump are set to hold a key bilateral meeting on Wednesday in Evian, with trade negotiations and recent tensions in the Gulf expected to dominate discussions. Rapid Read News18 US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor on Wednesday told CNN-News18 in Evian, France that he is “very much looking forward" to the upcoming meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump.
“We’re very much looking forward to it. The President will be there in about half an hour. Always happy to see you," he said, speaking ahead of the bilateral engagement on the sidelines of the G7 summit. The meeting comes just days after three Indian sailors were killed in US military strikes on commercial vessels near Oman, an incident that has triggered concern in New Delhi. The issue is expected to figure in the talks, along with discussions on the proposed US-Iran agreement and the future security of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trade will also be a major focus of the meeting. India is seeking clarity on US tariff measures and pushing for more favourable terms in a proposed interim trade deal, while both sides continue negotiations on a broader economic partnership framework.
