SYDNEY (Reuters) -- Australia has "absolutely" not vowed to support the U.S. in a conflict over Taiwan in return for U.S. Virginia-class submarines, Australia's Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Sunday.
Australia, the U.S. and Britain this week unveiled the multi-decade AUKUS project in which Australia will buy the U.S. military submarines before joint British and Australian production and operation of a new submarine class, SSN-AUKUS.
