“I am pleased to announce that I am promoting Sergio Gor to be our next United States Ambassador to the Republic of India, and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs. As Director of Presidential Personnel, Sergio and his team have hired nearly 4,000 America First Patriots across every Department of our Federal Government in RECORD time — Our Departments and Agencies are over 95% filled!" Trump said, adding that Sergio will remain in his current role at the White House until his confirmation.
Gor serves as the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office since 2025.

Gor had also reportedly clashed with Elon Musk, and fueled the breakup in relations between the world's richest man and the POTUS.
Trump remained all praises for Gor, saying “Sergio’s role as Director of Presidential Personnel has been essential to delivering on the unprecedented Mandate that we received from the American People. For the most populous Region in the World, it is important that I have someone I can fully trust to deliver on my Agenda and help us, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
