Sergio Gor says H-1B visa process 'not targeted at India'; signals trade deal on 'incredible trajectory'

Sergio Gor, a White House official, stated that the H-1B visa process is not targeted at India, addressing concerns about the program's impact on Indian professionals. He made the remarks during a briefing on U.S.-India relations.

Gor also signaled that a potential trade deal between the United States and India is on an 'incredible trajectory,' suggesting significant progress in negotiations. He did not provide specific details or a timeline for the agreement.

The H-1B visa program has been a key issue for Indian tech workers, who constitute a large portion of recipients. Gor's comments aim to reassure that the process is not discriminatory.

The trade deal discussions are part of broader efforts to strengthen economic ties between the two countries. Gor's optimistic tone indicates that both sides are working toward a mutually beneficial outcome.
