US reviewing Aukus submarine pact as part of 'America First' agenda
Published: 6/12/2025

The US is reviewing the Aukus submarine pact with Australia and the UK to align with its "America First" agenda, focusing on boosting military readiness and collective defense. The $239 billion agreement aims to provide Australia with advanced nuclear-powered submarines to counter China's influence. However, the review may shift the focus towards sharing long-range weapons technology instead. If the US backs out, China would likely celebrate, as the deal has faced criticism from Beijing.
