Anthony Albanese confirms additional $800 million sent to US for AUKUS

By Joshua Boscaini

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed that Australia has made an additional $800 million payment to the US for AUKUS.

    "This is a scheduled payment, nothing unusual," Albanese says.

The US is undertaking a review into the security pact to ensure it aligns with the administration's "America First" agenda.

The PM says the government supports a US review into AUKUS and has affirmed that Australia has a treaty with the US and UK signed in San Diego.
