US ambassador-designate to India Sergio Gor on Thursday said that President Donald Trump has invited India’s commerce and trade ministers to visit Washington next week for a meeting with US Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer.

Speaking at his Senate confirmation hearing, Gor said the talks are part of efforts to finalise a “hopeful deal" and added that the US and India are “not that far apart" on reaching an agreement.

“In fact, they’re negotiating the nitty-gritty of a deal," he said.

“We expect more from India than we do sometimes from other nations. I do think it will get resolved over the next few weeks," Gor said.

He added that, if confirmed, he would work to promote trade that is fair, reciprocal, and benefits American workers and businesses. “Improving US-India trade ties will not only bolster US competitiveness, but also reduce China’s economic leverage over other nations," Gor noted.
