US to end restrictions on Indian nuclear entities to boost energy ties, Sullivan says

NEW DELHI, Jan 6 (Reuters) – The U.S. government is in the process of removing restrictions on Indian nuclear entities, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Monday, in a bid to forge deeper energy ties with New Delhi and bolster a 20-year old landmark nuclear deal.
