The Trump administration is unlikely to scrap its defence pact with the UK and Australia.
The Pentagon says it's looking over the deal, to ensure it meets the President's 'America First' agenda.
Australia expects to acquire nuclear-submarines, under the pact.
Australia's Lowy Institute executive director, Michael Fullilove says it's all speculative at this stage.
"It's not that unusual for new Governments to review deals that have been made by their predecessors - I note that all of the most senior people around President Trump are in favour of AUKUS."
