Administration of Trump deliberates over AUKUS submarine agreement with Britain and Australia

Here's the scoop on the hot topic that's got everyone buzzing: the AUKUS submarine deal is under the microscope once again. This Badass, kick-ass security agreement, established in 2021 under Biden's administration, unites the US, UK, and Australia. The goal? To develop nuclear-powered submarines and advanced weaponry, with China's influence in the Pacific being their main target.

But hold up! With Donald Trump back in the picture, the deal is about to get a good, hard look. The folks in the White House are reviewing AUKUS to see if it aligns with Trump's "America First" agenda. Any shifts in the administration's approach are sure to stir up a bit of drama. A US official spilled the beans, saying, "We're examining AUKUS to make sure it jives with the President's America First agenda. We'll keep you posted on any changes through official channels, when it's appropriate."

Some background on AUKUS:

Australia's hoping to beef up its nuclear submarine fleet with as many as five Virginia-class subs from the US starting in 2032, and later designing and building a new class of subs with US assistance. The total cost? More than a cool quarter of a billion pounds.

AUKUS in a nutshell:

  • Established in 2021: Signed between the US, UK, and Australia under the Biden administration.
  • Countering China's Influence: Three nations team up to combat China's growing power in the Pacific.
  • Multibillion-pound Investment: The deal requires substantial financial commitments from all three countries.
  • Political Leaders Shuffle: The agreement was signed when different leaders were in power in the three nations.

Richard Marles, Australia's defense minister, seemed unbothered by the review, stating that he's optimistic the pact will still go ahead. He plans to work closely with the US while Trump's administration conducts its examination. The review comes before Trump's first meeting with Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese, set to take place on the sidelines of the G7 meeting in Canada.

Stay tuned for updates! We'll keep you posted as more deets come in. Is it just us, or do you feel like you're watching a political thriller unfold?
