He’s lashed out at Australian lawmakers for investing $368 billion for a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines from the U.S.

Australia will eventually build British-designed nuclear-powered submarines with American combat systems.

Australia will buy at least three U.S. nuclear-powered submarines early next decade — boats that might be second-hand and need U.S. Congressional approval.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.
