Synopsis

Four Corners reviews AUKUS amid Pentagon concerns over America's interests and Australia’s future.

Synopsis

As the US launches a review into AUKUS, Four Corners examines the future of the $368 billion submarine deal. The Pentagon is currently reviewing the entire AUKUS agreement amid concerns that it may not align with the new administration’s 'America First' policy. Submerged raises critical questions about the implications for Australia if Donald Trump decides the AUKUS deal does not serve America's interests, potentially leaving Australia financially burdened and without support. This documentary highlights the geopolitical stakes involved and the potential fallout from shifting US priorities.
