The United States is forming a security partnership with Australia and the United Kingdom that will allow them to share defense technology in a move that could be seen as sending a message to an aggressive China. The new partnership, which will be known as AUKUS, will enable the three countries to share artificial intelligence, undersea capabilities and other advanced technologies and deepen cooperation on a range of defense capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region. One of the working group’s first initiatives will be to help Australia develop a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines, which Australian media reports could result in that country dropping a $90 billion submarine deal with France. „This is about investing in our greatest source of strength, our alliances, and updating them to better meet the threats of today and tomorrow,“ said President Joe Biden, who announced the partnership during a virtual news conference with Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
