Nick Koreshi: 美国正在重新评估与英国和澳大利亚达成的价值数十亿美元的潜艇协议。根据AUKUS协议，澳大利亚将从美国获得其首批核动力潜艇。华盛顿官员告诉BBC，他们希望确保该项目与特朗普总统的“美国优先”议程保持一致。这项审查反映了美国对该协议的重视程度，以及确保其符合美国战略利益的决心。美国希望通过此次审查，进一步加强与盟友的合作，共同应对全球安全挑战。 Katie Silver: 美、英、澳之间的三边协议旨在对抗中国，澳大利亚将从美国获得其首批核动力潜艇。该协议是在三个不同的政府下签署的，价值高达2500亿美元。美国希望其盟友尽快将其GDP的3%用于国防开支，而英国比澳大利亚更愿意这样做。澳大利亚表示将增加资金，但不会达到同样的程度，并且需要远程潜艇。英国认为新政府审查该协议是可以理解的，并称其为具有里程碑意义的安全和国防伙伴关系。我认为这项协议对于三国之间的战略合作至关重要，有助于维护地区安全稳定。

We went along last month to learn what the attitude of race-goers can reveal about the current economic mood. Plus, a review of Washington's multibillion-dollar submarine deal with Britain and Australia.
