President Biden Announces Indo-Pacific alliance with U.K., Australia

The alliance will allow for greater sharing of defense capabilities

Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison are expected to deliver remarks during a joint virtual event where they will detail the new alliance that will be called AUKUS.
