President Obama and Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi announced today that they have come to a civil nuclear agreement. They also agreed to defense cooperation including the joint building of some equipment. Congressman Ami Bera, M.D. is part of the delegation in India with President Obama for the historic trip.

"The nuclear deal announced today makes billions of dollars in trade possible for U.S. companies that want to build and invest in India. That creates jobs in the U.S. and helps grow our economy," said Bera. "This is a deal we've been hoping to make for quite some time, and getting it done is another historic step forward in the U.S.-India relationship. Continued cooperation in defense also benefits both democracies as we deal with terrorism around the world."
