Australia's Albanese Confident on AUKUS After British Leader Says It Will Proceed
- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed confidence that AUKUS will proceed after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer affirmed the alliance at the G7 summit in mid-2025.
- This follows a Pentagon-led review announced last week amid concerns about US submarine production capacity and strategic alignment under changing US administrations.
- AUKUS aims to provide Australia with nuclear-powered submarines by the early 2030s to counter China’s Indo-Pacific ambitions, while fostering deep collaboration on emerging military technologies.
- Albanese said AUKUS holds 'great advantages' and Starmer called it 'a really important deal,' despite opposition over strategic dependency, cost, and regional tensions.
- The event underscores alliance challenges, including US capacity shortfalls and regional wariness, suggesting that Canberra and London should prepare contingencies amid uncertainty about US commitments.
