The US, Australia, and UK have signed a key deal in their nuclear sub alliance

Australia’s Defence Minister Peter Dutton has signed an agreement to exchange sensitive ‘naval nuclear and propulsion information” between their nations.

The hotly contested programme will equip Australia’s navy with nuclear-powered submarines in a new defence alliance with Britain and the US.

It’s the first agreement on the technology to be publicly signed since the three countries announced the alliance in September.

The AUKUS agreement has angered China

AUKUS seeks to confront tensions in the Pacific where conflict between China and the U-S is growing.

Under the deal Australia will obtain eight nuclear-powered submarines that are capable of long-range missions.

The communist nation has labeled it an “extremely irresponsible” threat to stability in the region.
