US ‘Completely Supportive’ of Aukus, Australia’s Marles Says

Australia’s acting Prime Minister Richard Marles said the center-left Labor government has received the Pentagon’s review of the Aukus accord and the US is standing behind the pact.

“What’s really important here is the United States is completely supportive of Aukus,” Marles told reporters on Thursday, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corp. Marles, the deputy premier and defense minister, is serving as acting prime minister while Anthony Albanese is on honeymoon after getting married on Saturday.
