Australia could join the US and Japan in military exercises, according to a senior White House official.
In a wide-ranging interview with 9News, John Kirby, the White House National Security Council spokesperson, said President Joe Biden wanted to “talk to Prime Minister (Fumio) Kishida about the option for trilateral exercises with Australia, US and Japan” when he was welcomed to the White House on Saturday.
Closer military ties between Japan and the US as a way to deter China have already been announced this week.
