US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she has been unable to sign a landmark nuclear trade deal with India due to bureaucratic delays back in the US.
The pact, which was widely expected to be signed on Saturday, would give India access to US nuclear fuel, reactors and technology in return for inspections of its civilian nuclear facilities. The deal, once signed, overturns a 30-year ban on nuclear trade between the US and India. The ban was imposed after India first tested nuclear weapons in 1974.
