India, United States begin reworking draft nuclear deal
The United States and India began reworking a draft agreement to win approval from a global nuclear trade bloc that has been skeptical of the two nations' proposed civilian nuclear deal, officials said on August 25.
A 45-nation meeting on whether to lift a ban on nuclear trade with India ended inconclusively last week after many members wanted to attach conditions, like trying to ban further nuclear tests by the Asian power.
The deal would allow India access to nuclear technology and fuel, overturning a three-decade ban on trade after India tested nuclear weapons in 1974.
The countries in the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was scheduled to meet on September 4-5, when the United States is expected to rework the draft for a waiver breaking the nuclear trade embargo.
