The White House today warned that time was running short to ratify the US-India civilian nuclear agreement during US President George W Bush's term, which ends in January।
Speaking on the eve of Bush's talks with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Toyako, spokeswoman Dana Perino said the US Congress have "a limited number of legislative days।"
"We've maintained a strong commitment to carry on our side of the deal, and obviously India has had a lot of discussion among its political parties," she said।
"We'll have to see what he's able to bring on the India civil nuclear agreement," she said।
"It could be that he's ready to move forward, but it also could just as likely be that they have a little bit more work to do।"
Singh yesterday arrived in Toyako, where he was expected to tell Bush he will move ahead on the stalled nuclear cooperation accord despite tough opposition।
Singh and Bush in 2005 unveiled an agreement to share civilian nuclear technology; a deal that when finalised would see India entering the fold of global nuclear commerce after being shut out for decades.
