Australia will make a second billion-dollar payment to boost US nuclear submarine shipyards soon, Defence Industry Minister Pat Conroy said in Washington yesterday, ahead of an official visit by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese next week.

The Aukus agreement to transfer nuclear-powered submarines to Australia is being reviewed by the Pentagon, although Australia has expressed confidence the deal, which also includes Britain, will proceed.
In its first phase, Australia has pledged US$3 billion (98.1 billion baht) to boost US submarine production rates, to later allow the sale of three Virginia submarines to Canberra, with a 2025 deadline for the first $2 billion.
