The Pentagon is reviewing plans for the joint provision of nuclear submarines to Australia, a deal seen as the pillar of the trilateral security partnership between Australia, the U.K., and the U.S., or “AUKUS.” The review has sparked alarm in both Canberra and London and raises hard questions about U.S. shipbuilding capacity, defense readiness, and Washington’s long-term vision for deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. Former Deputy Secretary of State Dr. Kurt Campbell, a driving force behind AUKUS and a key architect of U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, joins us to assess whether AUKUS is faltering, what this moment signals about U.S. global commitments, and whether the trilateral pact can still deliver on its promise of security and technological edge.

Tariffs don’t just change the cost of goods—they change where, how, and even if goods move at all. Recent trade talks threaten to upend these logistics for U.S. businesses and consumers. Uncertainties over the scope of the tariff regime, meanwhile, are growing after the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against the administration’s key justification for the levies.

All of which raises questions for the business community:

* Can supply chains adapt to a new era of increasingly fragmented trade?
* How will the disruption impact especially small businesses?
* Will market forces help businesses find ways around new trade hurdles?
