US President Barack Obama has signed a $618 billion defence policy bill which when in place, will enhance security cooperation with India. The National Defence Authorization Act (NDAA), which was passed by both the House and the Senate with veto-proof majorities earlier this month, was signed by Obama on Friday in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he is currently vacationing.
The highlights of the bill released by Arizona Senator and Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee John McCain said it "enhances security cooperation between the United States and India", under the 'Supporting Allies and Partners' section.
