Last month, Donald Trump had said he would nominate Sergio Gor, one of his closest aides, to be the next US ambassador to India, where he will oversee frosty relations that have worsened with the planned doubling of US tariffs on goods from India next week.
Gor, who worked as the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, would also serve as a special envoy for South and Central Asian affairs, Trump said.
Trump added that Gor would remain in his current position until he is confirmed for the India post by the US Senate.
“Sergio is a great friend, who has been at my side for many years. He worked on my Historic Presidential Campaigns, published my Best Selling Books, and ran one of the biggest Super PACs, which supported our Movement,” Trump said, lauding Gor‘s work in hiring staff for his second term.
