American innovation is a powerful force around the world. Good discussion with Amazon executives on their India footprint, expanding opportunities for US business, and strengthening the US-India economic ties.
The meeting came a day after Gor spoke in Bengaluru during an event marking 250 years of American independence. He said the milestone offered a chance to reflect on the United States’ past, but stressed that his work in India was directed toward practical outcomes and closer bilateral ties.
250 years, that's worth celebrating. But President Trump didn't send me to India to look back. He sent me here to get things done and look forward.
“250 years, that’s worth celebrating. But President Trump didn’t send me to India to look back. He sent me here to get things done and look forward,” Gor said. He added that the focus was on “real results for real people back home in the United States and here in India.”
Gor said India and the United States already cooperate in commerce, defence, aerospace, pharmaceuticals and space exploration. He added that the strategic partnership advances through concrete action, with officials seeking examples of “win-win situations” for both countries each week.
Every week, we look to identify examples of win-win situations for both of our nations.
