India-US trade agreement '99% there', last 1% being finalized: Sergio Gor

Asserting that India and the United States are on the cusp of a landmark trade agreement, US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor revealed that negotiations for the trade agreement are "99% there," with both nations actively hammering out the final technicalities.Speaking to the media on the sidelines of CITI's 2026 India Conference in Mumbai, Ambassador Gor expressed immense optimism about the imminent finalization of the deal, contrasting the swift 1.5-year progress of the India-US talks with years it took for India to finalize its trade pact with the European Union. "We are 99% there, the last 1% we are working on. We are very optimistic that this will get done. It will be a win-win situation for both the US and India," he said.Addressing questions regarding the remaining sticking points, Gor clarified that the unresolved one per cent consists primarily of technical legal phrasing and implementation timelines.
