白宫宣布美英澳安全倡议，将支持澳洲核潜艇巡航印太
拜登总统与英国首相约翰逊(Boris Johnson)、澳大利亚总理莫里森(Scott Morrison)9月15号星期三共同宣布，成立一个结合军事与外交，名为AUKUS的新三方安全倡议，并将支持澳洲核能潜艇巡航印太地区。
白宫在星期三上午召开背景简报会，一位不具名的资深官员表示，这个结合了美国海洋伙伴国家的三方安全伙伴架构，彰显了拜登政府“建立坚强伙伴关系，以维护整个印太地区和平稳定的决心”，同时也是将美国在欧洲盟友转向与印太盟友合作的第一步。
这个新倡议的第一个措施，是在18个月内动员英美澳三国技术、战略与海军等团队，支持澳大利亚取得核子潜艇能力。
资深官员强调，这将给予澳洲派遣潜艇在印太地区进行长期任务的能力。资深官员表示，这并不表示澳大利亚将成为核武国家，该国已经表示无意发展核武，同时也是核不扩散的倡议国。
美国之音记者询问，考虑拜登总统意图结合欧洲与印太盟友，是否可能扩大三方安全架构，加入包括新西兰、法国等盟友。
资深官员回应，这是一个非常少见的作法，上一次是在1958年，美国和英国签署了《共同防御条约》，两国同意分享核技术与其他科技。因为这些科技非常敏感，现在支持澳大利亚获得核能潜艇能力实际上是开了许多美国政策的例外，而这同时传达出一个讯息，即是美国在“进入21世纪时，保持强大威摄立场的再保证与决心”。
新的安全架构结合了军事与外交，并在包括网络、人工智能、量子科技、深海能力等科技领域合作，加强信息技术的分享。三国将在科学、技术、产业与供应链上，做出更多整合努力。
