The UK is “all in” on overcoming barriers to fully implementing the Aukus security partnership with the United States and Australia, John Healey has said following positive talks in the US.The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said all three countries had committed to delivering the agreement after the Defence Secretary met US secretary of war Pete Hegseth and Australian defence minister Richard Marles at the Pentagon.
00:00This is a big moment. It's a big moment for AUKUS. It's a big moment for three nations together.
00:13It is, as President Trump has said, the moment of full steam ahead for AUKUS.
00:20So the reviews are done. It's time to deliver.
00:23And when we talk about delivery, we talk about the most powerful, most feared attack submarine the world has ever seen, the apex predator of the seas.
00:37And in the UK alone, since our government was elected last year, we've created over 3,000 new jobs in the nuclear sites.
00:48We've committed £6 billion, $8 billion investment, new investment, to boost production in our shipyards and to deliver up to 12 of the most advanced attack submarines ever to sail under the Red Royal Navy Ensign.
01:07Pete, I say to you, Richard, I say to you, the UK is all in on AUKUS.
