Australia has announced that more US troops will rotate through the island nation and that the allies will cooperate on missile development, the latest joint steps amid shared concerns about China’s increasing assertiveness in the region.
Australia earlier announced a three-way alliance with the United States and Britain in which Canberra will acquire nuclear-powered submarines, enraging France whose own key contract for conventional submarines was scrapped.
Defence Minister Peter Dutton says that Australia will be significantly enhancing cooperation including working together on the development of missiles and explosive ordnance.
He says Australia was willing to see more US Marines in a 10-year rotation through the northern city of Darwin.
