Australia has already spent billions to make good on a deal that could total as much as $250 billion to acquire at least eight nuclear-powered but conventionally armed submarines.

Some defense analysts say Donald Trump’s mercurial and transactional style of politics could disrupt that broader effort.

The United States and Australia have been close allies since World War II .

AUKUS was agreed under Morrison , a conservative, but Albanese and his center-left Labor Party quickly adopted the idea.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has accused Albanese of underfunding defense.

Trump 's transactional approach could force Australia to increase its defense spending, now 2 percent of GDP.

Some in the Trump administration are likely to argue it doesn’t make sense for the U.S. to transfer submarines to Australia .
