Gor on Friday also held a “productive meeting" with Tata Group Chairman N Chandrasekaran. Though he did not share details of the discussions, the meeting indicates growing engagement between the Indian conglomerate and the US.

On January 14 while presenting his credentials to President Droupadi Murmu, Gor said he was looking forward to working closely with New Delhi to advance shared priorities in areas of defence, trade, technology and critical minerals and to strengthen the overall partnership.

Gor, the 27th US ambassador to India, said it was an honour for him to “serve in India at a time of such promise and opportunity in the US-India relationship".

Apart from the tariff, the relations witnessed a downturn on a number of other issues that included Trump's claim of ending the India-Pakistan conflict in May last year and Washington's new immigration policy.

In an address at the US embassy, Gor said on Monday that no country is as essential as India to the United States.

Prior to assuming his duties in New Delhi, Gor, 38, was assistant to the US President and Director of Presidential Personnel in the White House.

He arrived in New Delhi on January 9 amid an unprecedented estrangement in ties between the two countries.

The India-US ties have been reeling under severe stress after Trump doubled tariffs on Indian goods to a whopping 50 per cent including a 25 per cent additional duty for India's purchase of Russian crude oil.
