‘Fears’ Donald Trump could compromise AUKUS Pillar Two

There are fears an isolationist leader such as Donald Trump could compromise the security pact part of AUKUS that focuses on advanced technology, according to Sky News Political Correspondent Olivia Caisley. It comes as AUKUS leaders have said they are willing to cooperate with Japan on Pillar Two. “The Prime Minister this morning making it very clear that that Pillar One to do with nuclear submarines will remain the issue to the original AUKUS partners,” Ms Caisley said. “But then, when it comes to Pillar Two, we could see other like-minded countries join in. “In many ways, there is a bit of a sense of urgency to lock down these Pillar Two partners before there are elections in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States over the next 12 months. “There are certainly fears that if a more isolationist leader such as Donald Trump is elected, that could actually compromise Pillar Two.”
