Today marks five years since US President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson held a joint virtual press conference to make one of the biggest defence announcements in Australia’s history: AUKUS. Since then, all three countries have changed government and we have seen the geopolitical climate change drastically. What is the significance of AUKUS? Why do all three countries want to be involved? And, five years later, is it still full steam ahead on AUKUS? USSC Senior Adviser for Defence Strategy Prof. Peter Dean and American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Dr Zack Cooper joined the podcast to discuss these questions.
