The United States remains committed to deepening trade and investment relations with India, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor said on Monday, highlighting the growing economic partnership between the world’s two largest democracies.

Speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Annual Business Summit 2026 in New Delhi, Ambassador Gor emphasized that the Donald Trump administration is focused on strengthening commercial cooperation and creating new opportunities for businesses in both countries.

“We’re committed to expanding opportunities for trade, reducing regulatory barriers, and encouraging Indian businesses to invest in the United States for the benefit of both our countries,” Gor said in a statement shared on X.

He added that stronger government-business partnerships would help further strengthen economic ties between India and the United States.

The ambassador’s remarks come at a time when both nations are actively negotiating an interim bilateral trade agreement aimed at improving market access and boosting investment flows.

Last week, Gor noted that Indian companies are planning investments worth more than $20.5 billion in the United States across sectors including technology, manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals.

According to the ambassador, 12 Indian companies alone announced investments totaling approximately $1.1 billion on May 6.

“These partnerships are creating real American jobs and building stronger supply chains,” Gor stated. “Proof that when the world’s largest democracies do business together, everyone wins.”

Meanwhile, officials from India and the United States recently concluded another round of negotiations in Washington focused on finalizing the details of the interim trade agreement.

The discussions reportedly covered a wide range of issues including market access, customs facilitation, non-tariff barriers, investment promotion, digital trade, technical trade regulations, and economic security cooperation.

According to an official statement, both sides described the talks as constructive and forward-looking.

“The meetings were conducted in a constructive and positive spirit with meaningful discussions enabling progress on key matters,” the statement said.

India and the United States had earlier issued a Joint Statement on February 7, 2026, outlining a framework for an interim reciprocal trade agreement while reaffirming their commitment to broader negotiations on a comprehensive India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement.

Indian officials traveled to Washington for in-person discussions with their US counterparts as both sides seek to accelerate economic cooperation amid shifting global supply chains and rising geopolitical uncertainty.

The strengthening trade partnership is increasingly being viewed as a key pillar of the broader India-US strategic relationship, particularly in areas such as technology, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and economic security.
