The US has reaffirmed its support to India`s membership bid to the Nuclear Suppliers Group and said it has called on other members of the elite grouping to back New Delhi`s application.India has applied for the membership of the 48-member Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) which controls international nuclear trade. The United States welcomed India`s application to join the NSG and it continues to re-affirm that India is ready for the membership. The United States has called on NSG members to support India`s application. In the report submitted to Congress as required under National Defence Authorisation Act (NDAA) 2017, the Trump administration also re-affirmed its support for India`s membership in the Australia Group and Wassenaar Arrangement as soon as India meets each group`s membership criteria. The US and India share a commitment to preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery, the report said. China has been opposing India`s bid on the grounds that it is not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). China`s opposition has made India`s entry into the group difficult as it is guided by the consensus principle.
