According to Scott Morrison, there have always been "deep and serious concerns" that the submarines ordered by the French company would not be enough to "protect Australia's sovereign interests."
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said it was in his country's national interest to cancel an agreement with France to build diesel submarines in 2016.
“It is clear that the other side of the agreement will be saddened and disappointed (if it is violated). I understand this, but I am equally convinced that Australia's national interests should be paramount.
“The trilateral partnership I have with US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is helping Australia do the best it can,” Morrison told SBS on Sunday.
He said he always had "deep and serious concerns" and doubted that the submarines ordered by the French shipyard Naval Group would not be enough to "protect Australia's sovereign interests." As a sovereign state, it must make decisions that are in the interests of national defense. and that's what we're doing in the current context. "
