House Lawmakers Voice Support for AUKUS in Letter to Pentagon Chief

Ranking member of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) (L), and the chairman of the committee, Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), speak at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington on Sept. 25, 2024. Madalina Vasiliu/The Epoch Times

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.
