What's AUKUS?
AUKUS is a trilateral military agreement between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, first announced in September 2021. The pact is primarily focused on military cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, with a key component being Australia’s acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines, leveraging technology provided by the U.S. and the UK.
AUKUS introduces nuclear-powered submarines to a region of the world where the U.S. government — with the aid of its allies and weapons customers — has long been engaged in provoking conflict with China. This could fuel an arms race and could spark a war in the region.
