Gor travelled with Trump to Mount Rushmore and turned up at other engagements linked to the celebration. He shared details of the trip on X. The whole run of appearances began soon after Gor arrived in the US last week.\n\nOnce in the country, Gor set about meeting senior officials and lawmakers connected to India policy. He posted updates on X showing meetings in New York and Washington. He also took part in a policy summit focused on technology and economic security. Several of his posts laid out the gatherings and the subjects that came up.\n\nMount Rushmore and the Air Force One photo\nGor posted a photo with Trump aboard Air Force One from Friday. The post described the Mount Rushmore stop that was part of the anniversary programme. \"An incredible trip to Mt. Rushmore with the Greatest President,\" Gor wrote on X. He also attended other celebrations with Trump.\n\nEarlier in the week, Gor met Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in New York. He shared an image with the Statue of Liberty standing behind them. Gor then joined Vice President J D Vance and US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro. That dinner took place at the White House.\n\nIndia in focus at the Pax Silica Summit\nGor attended the second Pax Silica Summit, hosted by US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg. Helberg pointed to India's role in the forum in comments posted on X. \"Thrilled to have my friend Ambassador Gor join us at the second Pax Silica Summit. India is a vital Pax Silica partner-driving pro-innovation regulation, trusted AI infrastructure, and resilient supply chains. We look forward to continuing to build trusted ecosystems that will power the AI economy for decades to come,\" Helberg said.\n\nGor also met Congressmen Brian Mast and Bill Huizenga and talked over India-linked issues. He said the meeting kept its focus on India and South Asia. \"Great catching up with Chairman Brian Mast of the House Foreign Relations Committee. Had an excellent meeting focused on India and South Asia alongside Congressman Bill Huizenga. Both are true patriots,\" Gor said on X.\n\nThe role before India\nBefore he became Ambassador to India in January, Gor led the White House Presidential Personnel Office. That office handled key appointments across the Trump administration. The role kept Gor close to staffing decisions. The background was later brought up at a leadership event on India-US ties.\n\nA masterclass in 'friendship diplomacy'\nAt the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum Leadership Summit, Gor was introduced by political strategist Al Mason. Mason cast Gor as a friend chosen by the President to reset ties with India. \"When it comes to statecraft, Ambassador Sergio Gor is a masterclass of friendship diplomacy. Just as President Trump is known for the art of the deal, Sergio Gor is known for the art of friendship,\" Mason said.\n\nMason offered a second line on how Gor handles relationships. \"Friendship is his DNA. Relationships are his operating system,\" he said. Mason added that Gor carried three points to Prime Minister Modi. According to Mason, Trump respects India's rise and admires Prime Minister Modi's leadership, and he wants stronger India-US ties.\n\nMason credited Gor with helping restore momentum in the India-US relationship after his appointment. Gor's week ran through meetings across the US government and Congress. On top of that, he joined the anniversary events with Trump and attended the Pax Silica Summit.
