Commenting on the improvement in India-US relations, Sergio Gor, the nominee for the next US Ambassador to India, said that US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi share a deep friendship. He noted that while the US President had taken certain steps that compelled the US to impose tariffs, he also complimented Modi for his leadership.

"Our President has a deep friendship with Prime Minister Modi, which is unique. If you've noticed, when he goes after other nations, he tends to go after their leaders for putting us in that position and for the United States imposing those tariffs. When the President has been critical of India, he goes out of his way to compliment Modi. They have an incredible relationship," he said.
