Nuclear suppliers raise doubts on US-India deal

US efforts to get India accepted as a full partner of the international nuclear community have received a setback following a difficult meeting of the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

Diplomats and analysts briefed on the outcome of last week’s discussions in Vienna said concerns raised by a number of countries, including China, would also complicate the Bush administration’s parallel initiative to have Congress pass legislation that would allow the US to sell nuclear technology and material to India.
