The United Kingdom and Australia are set to sign a landmark 50-year defense treaty to deepen their commitment to the AUKUS nuclear submarine partnership, even as US support for the pact appears to waver. The agreement will see the two countries collaborate on building nuclear-powered submarines, with significant economic and job benefits expected, particularly in shipbuilding. Australia has made substantial payments to the US to bolster the AUKUS industrial base, despite ongoing reviews and skepticism from the US, especially under the Trump administration. The move is seen as a strategic response to growing security concerns in the Indo-Pacific, particularly regarding China's military rise. The new treaty signals a long-term alliance between the UK and Australia, aiming to secure regional stability and maintain a technological edge.
