Trump will lose interest as soon as they throw the Americans off that base and pass laws that ban mineral mining.

I guess governments revoking American bases on their territory might rile Trump a bit?

We have a spy base at Pine Gap, central Australia.
Literally, it is in the middle of nowhere.
Rumor has it, it is where it is because someone could nuke it and we wouldn't even notice.
Hey, we aren't stupid!

Is Trump going to send in US troops to defend it, if the Australian government takes it back?
(Treaties, agreements ,etc be damned!)
