US President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to India’s ambassador-designate Sergio Gor, making it clear where his loyalties lie. During a joint news conference with FBI Director Kash Patel from the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump said: “We have the new ambassador to India here. They are well represented. You (US Ambassador-designate to India, Sergio Gor) represent us better, not them… But Sergio is going to do a good job. He’s going to do a good job…” India’s next ambassador and special envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs. Trump further praised the outcome of the recent meeting between US Ambassador-designate Sergio Gor and the Indian leader. Addressing a joint news conference with FBI Director Kash Patel from the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump reflected on India’s leadership and its evolving global posture, particularly on oil trade with Russia. Responding to ANI’s question about Gor’s talks with PM Modi, Trump remarked, “I think they were great… Modi is a great man. He (Sergio Gor) told me that he (PM Modi) loves Trump.” Highlighting India’s cooperation with the US on energy issues, President Trump said that Prime Minister Modi had assured him that New Delhi would soon stop importing oil from Russia. “He assured me there will be no oil purchases from Russia… He’s not buying his oil from Russia… He can’t do it right away. It’s a bit of a process, but the process is going to be over soon,” the president said. Trump further underlined that ending India’s oil trade with Russia would strengthen international efforts to end the conflict in Ukraine. All we want from President Putin is to stop it, stop killing Ukrainians and stop killing Russians, because he’s killing a lot of Russians,” he said, describing the hostility between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “big obstacle.” “I think we’ll get them. If India doesn’t buy oil, it makes it a lot easier… They won’t buy oil from Russia, and they will go back to Russia after the war is over,” Trump added, indicating optimism that India’s stance could help ease tensions.
