Under the partnership, the US will provide Australia with the technology to deploy nuclear-powered submarines, senior US administration officials said.
The United States, Britain and Australia said on Wednesday they would establish a security partnership for the Indo-Pacific that will involve helping Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines, as Chinese influence over the region grows.
Under the partnership, announced by President Joe Biden, British Prime Minster Boris Johnson and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the United States will provide Australia with the technology and capability to deploy nuclear-powered submarines, senior US administration officials told reporters.
The three leaders outlined the deal in a three-way virtual announcement from each of their capitals.
"We all recognize the imperative of ensuring peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific for the long term," said Biden.
