At the recent G7 summit, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese expressed approval of comments from his British counterpart regarding the AUKUS nuclear submarine pact. The treaty involves Australia, Britain, and the United States, and continues to progress despite a Pentagon policy review.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, while standing beside U.S. President Donald Trump, reinforced the importance of AUKUS to reporters. Starmer noted the standard nature of such reviews by new administrations, suggesting it aligns with the White House's current strategic priorities.

The initial meeting between Albanese and Trump was postponed as the U.S. President departed the G7 early due to Middle East concerns. Meanwhile, Albanese reasserted the significance of AUKUS in counterbalancing China's aggressive posturing in the Indo-Pacific region.
