Tue Feb 11 18:07:46 UTC 2025: ## Modi and Vance Discuss US Nuclear Investment in India

**Paris, France –** Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance met in Paris on Tuesday to discuss India’s investment in American nuclear technology. The meeting, held during the AI Action Summit, follows India’s announcement of amendments to its Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Act and Atomic Energy Act, aimed at resolving long-standing liability issues that have stalled investment from U.S. and French nuclear energy companies.

According to the Vice President’s office, the discussion focused on the U.S. assisting India in diversifying its energy sources through investments in clean, U.S. nuclear technology. The meeting comes amid a shift in U.S. energy policy under the Trump administration, which has prioritized oil and gas over renewable energy. The newly confirmed Energy Secretary, Christopher Wright, has indicated a focus on exporting advanced nuclear technology.

Energy is expected to be a key topic during Modi’s upcoming meeting with President Trump in Washington on Thursday. The Paris meeting also included a personal touch, with Modi gifting presents to the Vance children and extending birthday wishes to the Vice President’s son.
