Australia is providing $3 billion to British industry to support the construction of nuclear-powered submarines in collaboration with the United Kingdom. The move comes after the signing of a defense pact between the two countries to address regional challenges, particularly concerning China. The submarines will be built in Australia and propelled by nuclear reactors from the U.K., featuring a U.S. weapons system. This initiative, part of the AUKUS partnership with the U.S., aims to enhance submarine construction capability and strengthen security in the region for years to come.
