Australia has rejected a US request to deploy warships to protect commercial traffic in the Red Sea amid increased attacks by Houthi militants from Yemen.
Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles has made it clear that the Red Sea is not a strategic priority for Canberra, which is primarily focused on Asia-Pacific affairs.
"We need to be really clear about our strategic focus and our strategic focus is our region," Marles told Sky News on December 21.
