US President Donald Trump said on Friday he nominated one of his closest aides, Sergio Gor, to be the next US ambassador to India. Sergio Gor, who is currently the director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, would also serve as a special envoy for South and Central Asian affairs.

Sergio Gor, Donald Trump's India ambassador pick, was once called a "snake" by the US President's former confidante, Elon Musk.
