BAE's international businesses and information sharing

A joke about AUKUS draws attention to information sharing between national parts of one defence company.

Notes

Clarke jokes that AUKUS allows BAE's British, American, and Australian businesses to talk to each other. His point concerns the difficulty of sharing information across national parts of a multinational defence supplier. He also stresses BAE's existing American yards and facilities, explaining why US production need not require a new American competitor.
