The former President was known for his “America First” rhetoric. What would that mean for the tri-nation alliance?
From tearing up the Iran Nuclear Deal to his combative relationship with NATO, former U.S. President Donald Trump always had a unique approach to foreign policy.
Changing his mind seemingly on a whim, his decisions often left allies in the lurch about strategic decisions.
When it comes to AUKUS, the U.K. and Australia have already invested heavily into the deal which is ostensibly to help contain China.
If Trump were to win the 2024 Presidential election, however, there is no guarantee that any existing Biden policies would stay on the table.
That could throw much of the defence policy of the pact’s junior partners into disarray.
