Description
All is set for President Joe Biden’s visit to San Diego on Monday.
Biden will be joined by the prime ministers of Australia and the United Kingdom to detail plans of a security partnership known as AUKUS.
The upcoming visit by Biden highlights a critical military alliance with both nations.
"It is a three country agreement to provide Australia with nuclear powered submarines for the purpose of securing what we call the Indo-Pacific region," said Dak Hardwick, vice president of International Affairs at the Aerospace Industries Association.
Hardwick says the partnership is critical, saying,"It represents only the second time that any nuclear fuel technology is going to be shared with another country. We've already shared it with the United Kingdom, but now this is another opportunity to share it with Australia."
