The most core content of which is that the US and UK help Australia get nuclear warships and are transferred the techniques and technology to build nuclear warships.
AUKUS is a joint venture of these three countries to create the most favorable political, security, military and defense position and situation for them in the Indo-Pacific region. The implementation of AUKUS is going smoothly until President Donald Trump returns to power in the US. AUKUS is not a product of Mr. Trump but of US President Joe Biden, Mr. Trump's predecessor. Now, this tripartite security alliance is facing a real and simultaneous challenge from the US and UK.
On the US side, the challenge for AUKUS is that the Trump administration reviews this tripartite agreement according to the referent system of the spirit and wording of the slogan " America First". The slogan that has become a brand that Mr. Trump heard and read is simple but the meaning can be very vague and can be specifically defined, and understood as specifically as possible. It is not difficult to understand when Mr. Trump raises the interests of the United States to a top priority, but what the benefits here are depends on Mr. Trump's understanding. The risk to the future of AUKUS is there.
On the UK side, the big challenge for AUKUS is that the UK government must focus the most resources and give the highest policy priority to the UK's own security in Europe. The reason is the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict as well as the fact that Europe can no longer truly trust the US commitment to ensuring security for its European allies under Mr. Trump, forcing Europe to mobilize itself to ensure its own security. Perhaps Mr. Trump will not erase AUKUS and the UK will not abandon AUKUS, but will not always value and prioritize AUKUS to the same extent as before.
