The bipartisan leaders of a House committee have voiced support for the trilateral security pact between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—known as AUKUS—which is currently under review by the Pentagon.

In a letter sent to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on July 22, Reps. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) stated that the three countries are “stronger together” under the AUKUS framework, in the face of the Chinese regime’s expanded capabilities and coercive actions against its neighbors.
