U.S.-India Security Cooperation Act of 2001

This bill proposed to lift certain economic and military sanctions against India that were originally triggered by the country’s nuclear weapons tests in 1998. By adjusting the timeline of the Arms Export Control Act, the legislation would have allowed the United States to resume providing financial assistance and selling military equipment to India. For the average citizen, this measure was designed to strengthen diplomatic and security ties between the two nations, facilitating closer cooperation on regional stability and international trade.
