Congressional Democrats have raised concerns about a key part of the Aukus security pact, which aims to create a Seamless Defense Industry across Australia, the UK, and the US. They oppose bills introduced by Republicans to exempt Australia and the UK from the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, arguing that it risks compromising national security by allowing unfettered transfers of sensitive defense technology to China. Experts warn that US arms-control laws are a roadblock to the seamless defense industry and could hamper the AUKUS pact. The sale of nuclear-powered submarines to Australia, however, has bipartisan support.
