SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed comments by his British counterpart at the G7 that Britain and the United States will proceed with the AUKUS nuclear submarine treaty with Australia,

Albanese will meet U.S. President Donald Trump for the first time on Tuesday in Calgary on the sidelines of the G7 meeting, with tariffs and Washington's snap review of the AUKUS treaty to transfer nuclear submarines to Australia weighing on the talks.

ANALYSIS: The US is reviewing the Aukus submarine programme just after Australia paid a US$500m down payment. Can the alliance survive ‘America First’ or is this an opportunity for Australia to change direction?
