‘Critical focus’ on AUKUS submarines amid ‘major development’

There is a “critical focus” on the AUKUS submarines as Defence Minister Richard Marles and Foreign Minister Penny Wong visit the United States for the yearly AUSMIN meetings, says Sky News Washington Correspondent Annelise Nielson. “This has been quite a critical development in that the US has agreed to share its nuclear capabilities,” she said. “Another major development was an agreement that they would train Australian submariners in how to operate these submarines.”
