The U.S. Ambassador To India, Sergio Gor describes the deepening ties between India and the U.S. Speaking at the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum Leadership Summit in Washington, DC on Monday, Jun 29, he said the US-India trade deal is in its "final steps", with only the last one per cent of negotiations left to be concluded. He also announced investments of a massive $20.5 billion by Indian companies into the US. "People ask, why is this taking so long? We've been at this for a year and a half. To put it into perspective, we've been trading for 20 years. So no matter what, once we beat the European deal, I think we're in good shape. But I'm determined to bring this to a close," he said.
