President Joe Biden plans to provide some details about a nuclear submarine deal as he meets with U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday in San Diego, according to multiple published reports. The deal, known as AUKUS, led to tensions in 2021 between the U.S. and France, which lost a contract to sell subs to Australia. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined Wednesday to confirm reports about the upcoming event in California, but the White House Press Office said Biden spoke by phone Tuesday with French President Emmanuel Macron.
