United States President Donald Trump will visit India early in 2027, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor confirmed to news agency IANS in an exclusive interview. The visit plan comes as the two countries push to finalise a long-awaited trade deal and deepen ties across energy, defence and technology. This will also be the US President’s first visit to India since relations between the two nations were strained over the US’ imposition of over 50% tariffs against Indian imports.
Gor, who returned to Washington just a day ago after six months of travelling across India, said preparations for the presidential visit are already underway. The Trump-Modi relationship remains the bedrock of everything the two sides are building together, he said.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also been closely involved in driving the bilateral agenda, Gor indicated, as Washington moves to cement what it sees as one of its most consequential partnerships.
“I am going to India to finalise the President’s visit,” Gor told IANS, confirming Trump’s travel to India is being actively planned at the diplomatic level.
The announcement comes weeks after Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi held what Gor described as a “warm and wide-ranging” meeting on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France. The talks lasted over an hour and covered trade, defence, and other bilateral matters.
