AUKUS is currently being reviewed by the Trump administration, whereas the Biden administration brought it in.
'This is not that at all unusual for new administration coming in to review the polices of previous administrations,' Mr Mulvaney told Sky News host James Morrow.
'I'm a little concerned that Trump is having second thoughts.'
