US reviewing Aukus submarine pact as part of 'America First' agenda
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.
