India, Jan. 30 -- External affairs minister S Jaishankar met US ambassador Sergio Gor, a close aide of President Donald Trump, on Thursday ahead of a planned visit to Washington next month to attend the US-led inaugural ministerial meeting on critical mineral supply chains. Jaishankar's visit to the US during February 4-5, which is yet to be formally announced by both sides, is being perceived as an opportunity to address strains in bilateral relations over the trade and tariff. "Pleased to meet @USAmbIndia Sergio Gor today in New Delhi. Our conversation covered the many dimensions of our partnership," Jaishankar said on social media. P15
