Obama backs N-deal


Barrack Obama, the democratic presidential nominee back the Indo-US nuclear deal. It was always speculated that Obama will renogotiate or put the deal on hold, if he becomes the president. But now, Obama himself has said he would be reluctant to renogotiate his deal. Obama in a election campaign has said. "I would be reluctant to renogotiate the deal".

The deal will almost certainly be signed by India’s government - putting the onus back on the United States to get it implemented. Deal makes a huge exception of India, endorsing its status as a nuclear-weapons state and granting it a more lenient regime of inspections of its nuclear power facilities by the International Atomic Energy Agency than is normal.
