Australian officials speak up about US partnership value for Indo-Pacific region. The discussion comes as the country invests huge sums in nuclear-powered submarines program

Australian top-brass are speaking out about their US friendship importance at a time when the future seems unclear. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his team point to the need of keeping Indo-Pacific safe through strong partnerships; this comes as questions pop up about next years political changes in America

The massive sub-marine program (worth around 250-billion dollars) already got lots of money from down-under taxpayers. The deal which includes getting 8 nuclear-driven vessels with regular weapons is part of the three-way AUKUS agreement; however some experts think its future might change due to possible leadership switch in Washington DC

The partnership between these long-time allies faces new questions – the possible comeback of an American leader who has history of changing his mind about international deals makes Aussie decision-makers nervous. Despite these worries the defence cooperation stays active with both countries working on tech-sharing and military planning
