Britain plans to set up naval bases in Southeast Asia, Caribbean

The transcript discusses a proposal for a UK naval base in Brunei, which would support US efforts in the Indo-Pacific region by limiting Chinese military movements. The base would host Astute class submarines, enhancing military capabilities. Brunei already hosts a British Army base. A Franco-British naval group may also be deployed, rotating between UK and French warships. This move aligns with US strategies but may be seen as a threat by China, which claims the South China Sea. The base could also boost the UK's economy through arms deals post-Brexit.
