Will Donald Trump renegotiate the AUKUS treaty or walk away? That's the $368 billion question

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : This illustrates the enduring Australian government support for AUKUS and its centrality to our defence planning, as well as the significant concern this enthusiasm is not shared by Trump or his team.
48% : In each of these cases, Trump has wanted to renegotiate the terms of agreements.
46% : If Trump sought to formally renege on the agreement, or modify its terms, this would likely need congressional approval.
41% : As the agreement currently stands, there is little to prevent Trump from making such a demand - or, indeed, any of the parties (Australia included) from walking away from the deal.
39% : That question will certainly outlast Trump.
37% : It is an extremely risky to try to predict what Trump will do.
37% : However, as with other US security treaties, if Trump decides he is unwilling to abide by the terms in the treaty, there's ultimately little the Australian government can do about it.
35% : Judging by the initial comments by one of the most senior members of Australia's government, there certainly appears to be concern that Trump may look to modify - or even scrap - AUKUS.
30% : Trump could seek a renegotiation
