USSC Director of Foreign Policy and Defence Professor Peter Dean spoke to Sky News' Afternoon Agenda program about the likely support for AUKUS if Donald Trump is elected president.
Speaking on the sidelines of the Indian Ocean Defence & Security 2024 conference in Perth, Professor Dean said he is "confident that it would go ahead under a Trump presidency."
"Australia is paying its way on the AUKUS deal.
"We've increased spending to over 2 per cent of GDP. So this is the type of deal that Trump wants."
