💨 Abstract
Lawmakers from both major U.S. political parties are pressing the Trump administration to uph old the AUKUS defense pact, which aims to supply nuclear-powered submarines to Australia. The Pentagon is reviewing the agreement amid concerns about U.S. industrial capabilities. The partnership is crucial for countering China's influence in the Indo-Pacific, but U.S. shipbuilding struggles could jeopardize submarine delivery pledges. The review, led by Elbridge Colby, is expected to complete by fall.
