For the last few days about tariff war, there has been an increase in the relationship between India and America. Meanwhile, the US appointed Sergio Gore as the new Ambassador of India on Friday (22 August 2025). He has also been given the responsibility of special messengers in South and Central Asian Affairs. Sergio is considered one of the most trusted officers of Gore Trump and currently working in the White House. In such a situation, the biggest question is whether the relationship between the two countries will improve after Trump’s new angel comes to India.

Sergio Gore will replace Eric Garceti

The image of Sergio Gore is like a US first agenda like Trump. In such a situation, it is also clear that America will see its relations with India from the perspective of business transactions. After the announcement of Trump, Vice President JD Vance said that Sergio Gore will become a brilliant ambassador for our country in India. Trump later appointed ambassador for India compared to several other major countries. Sergio will replace Gor Eric Garcéeti, who served as ambassador from May 2023 to January 2025.

Albridge Kolbi, Deputy Secretary of the US Defense Policy, said, “Trump’s trump’s trump’s trump Sergio Gore will be fantastic to be as our ambassador in India. Indo-US relationship is very important and it is very important to have such a qualified and visionary person (Sergio Gore) in this role. Appointment of Sergio Gore is also a strict message for PM Modi.

Why did Donald Trump choose Sergio Gore?

According to Bloomberg’s report, Sergio Gore has little experience working with India in any way, but in many cases he is said to be better than Eric Garcheta. According to Politico, who reported on American and international politics, an official said that the purpose of appointment of Sergio Gore in India is to reduce stress. He said that US President Trump is personally sending a very close messenger to India and sending a powerful message to the Modi government.

Any message of Sergio will be directly ordered by Trump

He said that Serzia’s appointment in India is an indication that there will be a serious talk between the two countries now. He also clarified that any message of Sergio will be directly the message of Trump. Former White House officer Steve Bannon also welcomed the appointment of Sergio and said that it will benefit the two countries. He said, “I believe that besides the Chief of Staff Susie Wils and some others, Sergio is the only person who has the facility to meet President Trump at any time or night.

Steve Bainon said, ‘Sergio Gore does not have much information on issues related to Indian policy, but he understands things quickly. He not only has access to President Trump, but Trump also has a lot of confidence in him.

The decision of US President Donald Trump on steel and aluminum may have a direct impact on India. According to the report of Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), this decision is threatening India’s metal exports worth $ 4.56 billion (about 38,000 crore).

What is the matter?

On 30 May 2025, Donald Trump announced that the tariff on steel and aluminum imports in the US would be increased from 25 per cent to 50 per cent. This new rule will be applicable from 4 June 2025. Trump has taken this decision citing US “national security”.

What will be the impact on India?

India exported a total of $ 4.56 billion steel and aluminum goods to the US in FY 2025. This includes $ 587.5 million iron and steel, $ 3.1 billion iron or steel goods and $ 860 million aluminum and products related to it.

Now that they will be charged 50 percent tax in America, then Indian goods will become more expensive there. This will reduce the competition of Indian companies and can cause damage to their business.

What is India doing?

India has given information about this decision to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and it is believed that the government is preparing to take retaliation.

What does GTRI say?

GTRI says that this decision will harm not only business but also the environment. There is a large amount of carbon in making steel and aluminum. Where the world is investing in Green Technology, there is no concern about the environment in this decision of Trump.

What is Trump’s intention?

Experts believe that this decision is part of America’s ‘Economic Nationalism’ i.e. “America First” policy. This can benefit domestic industries in America, but it is a danger bell for global trade and climate goals.
