Canberra, Australia (CNN) -- The United States announced an agreement with Australia Wednesday that will expand military cooperation between the long-time allies and boost America's presence in the region.
At the news conference, Obama insisted fear wasn't driving the enhanced military initiatives. "The notion that we fear China is mistaken," the president said at the Australian parliament building. China has a looming military presence in the region.
