NEW DELHI: The US and India are moving closer to signing a key agreement on critical minerals that could significantly strengthen strategic cooperation and supply chains between the two countries, US Ambassador Sergio Gor said on March 13. Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Gor said the growing engagement between the two nations reflects a deeper partnership that goes beyond conventional trade ties. His remarks come just days after the two countries agreed on a framework for a Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) aimed at expanding economic cooperation.
“The US and India are paying close attention to each other, which reflects something deeper — a partnership that is continuing to grow stronger,” Gor said, noting that the relationship is entering a new phase of strategic collaboration. He added that under President Donald Trump, ties between the two countries have the potential to reach “global heights.”
“What was needed was momentum and opportunities, and we are now moving towards unlocking those opportunities and that potential,” the Ambassador said. Gor stressed that the partnership between India and the US is not limited to tariffs or market access but also focusses on securing resources and strengthening supply chains that will shape the global economy in the coming decades.
“This partnership is not just about tariffs or market access, but also about securing resources and supply chains that will define the global economy of the future,” he said. Highlighting a key area of collaboration, Gor said critical minerals have emerged as one of the most important aspects of the partnership.
