Australia to build eight nuclear-powered submarines under new Indo-Pacific pact
The Peninsula
Sydney: Australia will build eight nuclear-powered submarines under an Indo-Pacific security partnership with the United States and Britain that analysts say will likely rile China, which denounced the creation of blocs intent on harming others.
Australia will be only the second country after Britain in 1958 to be given access to U.S. nuclear technology to build nuclear-powered submarines.
"Our world is becoming more complex, especially here in our region, the Indo-Pacific," said Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
