President Trump's failure to recognise the AUKUS acronym has raised serious questions about the future of the Australia-UK-US defense pact. With Trump's nominated undersecretary of defence questioning whether supplying Australia with nuclear submarines serves US interests, the alliance appears increasingly fragile. Meanwhile, China conducts naval exercises in the Tasman Sea, directly challenging the security partnership. The Congressional Research Service reports the US Navy currently has only 49 of its target 66 attack submarines, building them at half the rate needed to meet both US requirements and AUKUS commitments.
