Officials of India’s nuclear energy program have expressed the desire to do business with General Electric and other U.S. energy firms. It will fall upon Congress to give American companies the thumbs-up to sell uranium and nuclear technology to India. President Bush and the Indian Prime Minister met in Washington on Thursday, both hoping to see an agreement on the issue reached. Some Americans are skeptical despite the obvious economic benefits, citing India’s past failure to sign a global treaty against the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Indian officials are confident that if the U.S. will not play ball, it will get its uranium elsewhere. The country has already signed trade agreements with both France and Russia.
