\u201cBeginning early 2030s, U.S. will sell three Virginia Class submarines to Australia with the potential to sell up to two more if needed,\u201d said President Joe Biden on stage at Naval Base Point Loma with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n

Australia can access nuclear-powered submarines, which will be able to provide an assured undersea capability that contributes to stability, peace, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific and around the world, as a counterweight to China\u2019s military buildup.<\/p>\n

China disapproved of the deal. They have argued that AUKUS violates the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Australian officials contradicted the criticism, AUKUS is for nuclear submarines, not nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Biden also emphasized, \u201cNuclear-powered, not nuclear-armed,\u201d adding, \u201cThe element goal is developing something new together. AUKUS is not nuclear weapons, and it will become a future standard for both the U.K. Royal Navy and Australian Royal Navy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Albanese said, \u201cAUKUS represents the biggest single investment in Australia\u2019s defense capability in all of our history.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is the first time in 65 years that the U.S. has shared the highly complicated technology of its nuclear submarines with another country. Biden also met with Albanese and Sunak individually to discuss their strategy for Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine, the global economy, and more.<\/p>\n

San Diego was Biden\u2019s first stop in his three-day trip to California and Nevada. He discussed gun violence prevention in the community of Monterey Park, and lower prescription drug costs in Las Vegas.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
