Australia Hits Back At Trump’s ‘Betrayal’, Refuses To Commit Troops In Potential US-China-Taiwan War – Is QUAD-AUKUS Falling Apart? | World News
New Delhi: Australia finally spoke. He clearly told the United States that Canberra would not be dragged into a war on Taiwan. Not this time. Not in uncertain promises.
From Melbourne to Beijing, the tone change is tangible. While Prime Minister Anthony walks on the diplomatic rope in China, the Albania, the government reports that Australia will not send troops if the tensions between the United States and China explode the war on Taiwan. No pre -commitment. No blind belief.
Defense Minister Pat Conroy repeated the same thing. Calm, deliberate and without drama. He refused to promise progress. He said that the decisions will be made by the elected government of Australia, which is not dictated by demands from Washington.
Behind the curtain, he brews disappointment. The Aukus Pact between Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States aimed to encourage a safe and stable free and open Indo-Pacific, which was once a safe and stable defense revolution. Nuclear submarines promised by the US did not come. The deadline has changed. Commitments are blurry. Trust is thinned.
This is not only related to Taiwan, but also as an equal partner, not only about Taiwan, but also a subordinate. It is also about remembering history.
Australia and the United States are part of Quad, a security alliance that wants to resist the rise of China. But now, Australia’s belief in the alliance is being tested.
PM Albania remains careful in Beijing. He’s talking about peace. He’s talking about stability in the region. He avoids Washington’s warfare speech that he seems to be willing to entertain. And he won’t guarantee the deployment of unity.
Reports say that he wants written warranties from the US Department of Defense from Australia and Japan. If a conflict explodes in Indo-Pacific, they want the Allies to commit to sending power. A name continues Elbridge Colby. A senior sound that controls the AUKUS plan in Washington is now pushed very hard and very quickly.
However, this is not Australia 20 years ago.
Canberra caught a different storm today. On the one hand, even in allies, Trump, which is an unpredictable, processing and slap tariffs, has America. On the other hand, China, the largest trade partner in Australia, is economically vital and military dominant.
Financial Times revealed that Japan is under similar pressure. Washington wants a promise. However, the leaders in Asia are hesitant. Nobody wants to register for someone else’s war.
When he returns home, Australian officials say that Albanian’s six -day visit to China is about protecting both security and trade. This is a re -caliber and a moment of realism.
While the future of Quad is hanging in balance, the analysts whispering that the authorities would not say loudly – the alliance is swinging. And if the pressure continues, it may not survive.
Australia’s response is less about challenge, more about honor and more parties to choose and choose sovereignty.
