The rendezvous at Trump’s New York residence shed light on the ex-president’s stance on the crucial agreement, which has been a topic of speculation since its inception.

Morrison, reminiscing about their routine discussions during their tenures, highlighted Trump’s reiterated appreciation for the Australia-US alliance.

Their talks, spanning AUKUS, China’s regional assertiveness, and the Taiwan threat, emphasized the significance of a free and open Indo-Pacific, echoing the sentiments of their mutual ally, Shinzo Abe.

With Trump yet to officially declare his position on the pact, Australia is keenly observing his stance, given the strategic implications.

The AUKUS deal, inked post-Trump era with Australia and Britain, aims to counterbalance China’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific by providing Australia with up to five U.S. Virginia-class submarines.

Despite concerns over Trump’s ‘America First’ doctrine potentially derailing the transfers, Morrison’s account of their discussion suggests otherwise.

Trump’s receptive demeanor towards AUKUS during their dialogue, coupled with Morrison’s optimism about its prospects, hints at a potential alignment of interests.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese reiterated his government’s conviction in the deal’s strategic rationale, regardless of the White House incumbent.

Emphasizing the importance of a secure and peaceful region, Albanese affirmed the steadfastness of the arrangements in safeguarding shared interests.

As the world eagerly awaits Trump’s official stance, Morrison’s insights offer a glimpse into the evolving dynamics of global security alliances.
