The agreement between the United States and its allies to confront China in the Pacific; Listen to Podcasts – 09/21/2021 – Podcasts

On the 15th, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia announced an agreement to arm Oceania with nuclear submarines. Its purpose is to counter the increase of Chinese troops in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, especially in the South China Sea, which is a key part of Beijing, through which a third of world trade passes.

To sign the partnership, Australia broke a submarine production agreement with France worth about $ 66 billion (R $ 375 billion). The French called the victory “a stab in the back” and summoned their US and Australian ambassadors – a gesture signifying the diplomatic crisis between the countries.

In this Tuesday (21st) episode, Breakfast reporter Igor Giolo talks about what is behind the nuclear submarine deal, why the region is the target of controversy, and what the three countries’ announcement about Joe Biden’s foreign policy is.
