"May such a tragedy never happen again. I visited the 26/11 memorial at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel remembering the 166 innocent lives lost, including 6 Americans. I honor the valor of the Indian security forces and am proud that under President Trump, the United States extradited Tahawwur Hussain Rana to India to face justice for his role in planning these horrific attacks," said Gor in an official statement.

Sergio Gor assumed charge as the new ambassador to India on January 12. Gor, who is a close aide of US president Donald Trump, presented his credentials to President Droupadi Murmu along with the envoys of Austria and Trinidad and Tobago.
His latest visit to India comes amid ongoing trade negotiations between New Delhi and Washington, necessitated by Trump's steep 50% tariffs on Indian imports. Gor had earlier said that the US President and Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared a “real” friendship and that negotiations on trade were still underway.
