He also said the interim trade agreement between the two countries was now ready to be finalised. “President Trump’s goal is to facilitate bilateral trade in a way that creates lucrative opportunities for American businesses and workers. Our current interim trade agreement is on the table to be finalised, unlocking prosperity for both nations," he said. He further emphasised that the agreement under discussion is expected to improve market access, reduce trade barriers and provide greater certainty for businesses in both countries. According to him, the deal could also strengthen supply chains, encourage fresh investments and support long-term inclusive economic growth. “This agreement, if done right, will strengthen supply chains, catalyse new investments, and drive sustained inclusive growth, bringing tangible benefits to industries, workers, and economies. Last month, an Indian delegation visited Washington, D.C. to help finalise the trade deal. Next month, a US delegation will also focus on the agreement," he added. #WATCH | Delhi: On bilateral trade deal, US Ambassador to India, Sergio Gor says, “… President Trump’s goal is to facilitate bilateral trade in a way that creates lucrative opportunities for American businesses and workers.

Highlighting the pace of the talks, the US envoy said negotiations between India and the US have been underway for around one-and-a-half years. He compared it to the European Union’s trade negotiations, which took nearly 19 years, and expressed confidence that the India-US trade deal could be finalised soon. Earlier this month, Gor announced that Indian companies will invest more than $20.5 billion in the United States across various sectors. An embassy factsheet showed that investments span pharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing, energy infrastructure, and emerging technologies, and are expected to create thousands of jobs while strengthening supply chains and expanding US production capacity.
