After Review, Pentagon Confirms Submarine Sales to Australia
The Pentagon's review affirms the AUKUS pact aligns with US security interests and highlights critical deadlines for Australia to receive at least three nuclear-powered submarines starting in 2032.
- The Pentagon's five-month review endorsed the AUKUS agreement, deeming it in alignment with President Trump's 'America First' agenda and aimed at putting AUKUS on the strongest possible footing.
- Congressman Joe Courtney, a Democrat, stated the review's completion assures the AUKUS pact's 'framework is aligned with our country's national security interest', and Courtney represents a district home to a major US submarine facility.
- The AUKUS plan involves the US selling Virginia-class nuclear submarines to Australia from 2032 onwards, with Australia committing $240 billion over 30 years for the program that also includes developing new submarine technology.
