He said, 'That friendliness also extends to the highest level of leadership between the United States and India. President Trump considers Prime Minister Modi a true friend, and their genuine relationship strengthens the already important bond between our two nations. The ability to deepen our ties and work towards mutually beneficial goals is a great privilege.'

Gor also talked about his initial impressions of India, to which he recounted his family trip 15 years back here and said that India never left his heart.

'I first visited India with my family almost 15 years ago. Since then, the impact of that trip never left my mind. The culture, history, colors, and the incredible story of India, combined with the potential for our two nations to take our bilateral relationship to the next level, is truly what makes this assignment appealing to me. However, it was the warmth and kindness of the people that left its deepest impression on me. I can say as I return to India so many years later, and under such different circumstances, the friendliness of the Indian people has not faded one bit,' he told Span Magazine.

Gor said that his job was to deliver results for the US, while enhancing India-US bilateral relationship to new heights.

'President Trump is the hardest working man in politics. He moves fast and demands results. His results-oriented style means I come into the embassy every morning with one goal in mind--how can I deliver something tangible and positive for the American people? Every call I have and every meeting I take is in furtherance of closing a deal or securing a win for the United States, which is exactly how the President operates. We have a simple task--deliver results for the United States, while enhancing our bilateral relationship to new heights,' he said.

Earlier in the day, Gor on Tuesday (local time) met US President Donald Trump and said that the President deeply cares about India-US relationship.
