Jake Sullivan, former President Joe Biden\u2019s national security adviser, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/fae9c36a-99fd-45e7-94ff-2706f838ddcf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> in January that the two had effectively entered a \u201cstrategic marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Lately, though, Australians have been feeling rather like a spouse who awoke one morning to find a complete stranger lying next to them. Many have watched, aghast, how President Trump has treated other longstanding allies such as Canada and Europe, cavalierly threatening their economies with hefty tariffs and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/07\/world\/europe\/europe-self-defense-trump.html\" title=\"\">casting doubt<\/a> on the U.S. commitment to protect NATO members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Australia itself was hit this week with a 10 percent tariff on its exports to the United States, in addition to a 25 percent tariffs on its steel and aluminum. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Thursday <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=0vzrnA-Tdek&amp;ab_channel=ABCNews%28Australia%29\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> the moves would \u201chave consequences for how Australians see this relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All this has Australians taking a hard look their own heavily intertwined and dependent military relationship with the United States \u2014 even as China is making its growing military might <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/12\/world\/australia\/china-warships-australia-aukus.html\" title=\"\">felt in the region<\/a> \u2014 and asking if they are in need of a \u201cPlan B.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe are dealing with a very different America,\u201d Malcolm Turnbull, a former conservative prime minister, said in an interview. \u201cWe\u2019re dealing with an America whose values no longer align with ours.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As a nation of 27 million stretched over a geographical expanse that rivals the continental United States, Australia has always relied on a powerful partner for its defense \u2014 first Britain, then the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In recent years, Australia became an integral part of the U.S. military posture in the region to counter China\u2019s increased assertiveness. U.S. Marines regularly rotate through northern Australia, U.S. submarines dock in its west, and the government signed a 2021 <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/09\/15\/us\/politics\/biden-australia-britain-china.html\" title=\"\">deal with Washington and London<\/a>, known as AUKUS, to equip Australia with nuclear-powered submarines over the coming decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But now, some question whether the assumptions underlying those arrangements still hold, given Mr. Trump\u2019s \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/04\/us\/politics\/trump-america-first.html\" title=\"\">America First<\/a>\u201d stance. Can Australia rely on the United States to come to its aid in a time of need, and can Australia continue to stand militarily by its American ally if it fundamentally disagrees with its view of the world?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe really have to revise our thinking about the United States as a country,\u201d said John McCarthy, formerly Australia\u2019s ambassador to the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Turnbull, whose tenure overlapped with part of Mr. Trump\u2019s first term, convened a forum this week in the capital, Canberra, to discuss the U.S. alliance. He said he did so because he felt Australia\u2019s political parties were not paying enough attention to the changes in and challenges to the alliance, focusing instead on domestic issues in the lead-up to next month\u2019s federal election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Politicians on both sides of the aisle have said Australia needs to do more for its own defense. Mr. Albanese\u2019s Labor government has announced plans to increase military spending to 2.3 percent of gross domestic product over the next decade, while the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/peterdutton.com.au\/dutton-hastie-media-release-increase-in-f-35a-capability-for-the-royal-australian-air-force\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pledged to invest<\/a> about $1.9 billion in a squadron of fighter jets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the center of Australia\u2019s plans for long-term security is the AUKUS deal for nuclear-powered submarines, which was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/03\/09\/us\/politics\/australia-nuclear-submarines-china.html\" title=\"\">heralded<\/a> as an unprecedented partnership involving the sharing of sensitive American nuclear technology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Under the agreement, Australia will first acquire secondhand U.S. Virginia-class submarines, and eventually build its own, as a response to growing Chinese military influence in the Asia Pacific. Nuclear-fueled propulsion would allow them to stealthily cover vastly longer distances without having to surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since its signing, however, the agreement has faced questions in Australia about whether the United States could speed up its shipbuilding enough to hand over the used submarines on time, and whether it would automatically draw the country into conflicts involving the United States, such as over Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The volatility of the Trump administration and its relationships with allies has amplified the skepticism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cDonald Trump\u2019s doing us a favor by making clear to us things we\u2019ve been determined not to recognize for ourselves,\u201d said Hugh White, an emeritus professor of strategic studies at the Australian National University and a former intelligence and defense official, who has been critical of the deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But as much as Australians may feel the need for a more independent defense, the country\u2019s politicians have not communicated to the public the resources that would need to be redirected, said Charles Edel, Australia chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ultimately Australia may have too much to gain from the alliance and need it for the balance of power in the region, he said after the forum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dennis Richardson, a former secretary of foreign affairs and defense who also served as Australia\u2019s ambassador to Washington, said as much at Mr. Turnbull\u2019s forum. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t think we need to waste time on a Plan B,\u201d he said, referring to the AUKUS deal. \u201cThe worst possible thing we could do at this point would be to change horses.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
