Multi-Theater Update, 16 August 2024

The US, Britain and Australia announced a new trilateral defense agreement based on AUKUS on 15 August 2024.

According to the agreement, the three powers will “exempt each other from a vast array of export controls for defense technology, making it easier to trade and collaborate on weapons development and production.”

The move aims to energize the process of military technological modernization in the three countries in the face of the geopolitical challenge and military technological competition from China.
