Former Australian ambassador to the U.S. Joe Hockey discusses the U.S. officials who “emphatically” support AUKUS, including Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and the Secretary of the U.S. Navy.

“There’s no doubt the Secretary of the United States Navy, Secretary Phelan, is very supportive of AUKUS,” Mr. Hockey told Sky News Australia.

“I believe Secretary Hegseth, Department of Defense Secretary, is the same – I know Donald Trump supports AUKUS, and there is no doubt Congress and the Senate … they emphatically support AUKUS.”
