Austin assures China new partnership with UK, Australia 'not aimed at anyone'
Fox News
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin sought to assure China Thursday that the latest tri-lateral agreement between the U.S., U.K, and Australia is “not aimed at anyone.”
"And the first step is helping Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarine capability," he added.
Austin’s comments come just one day after Australia, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. entered into an agreement dubbed AUKUS that voided a 2016 submarine agreement between France and the Aussie nation.
