SUMMARY

The U.S. is reviewing the AUKUS submarine deal with the UK and Australia, originally agreed under Joe Biden. The goal is to ensure it aligns with Donald Trump's "America First" agenda.

AUKUS aims to develop nuclear-powered submarines to counter China's influence.

Elbridge Colby from the Pentagon expressed skepticism about the deal.

A U.S. official stated, "We are reviewing AUKUS as part of ensuring that this initiative of the previous administration is aligned with the President's America First agenda."

Australian Defence Minister Richard Marles remains confident in the agreement's continuation.
