Will the AUKUS pact undermine NATO?

The security pact between the US, UK and Australia did not cause a rift within NATO, but it is not helping strengthen the alliance, either.
On September 21, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with US President Joe Biden at the White House. The talks were nothing short of a diplomatic coup for London.
They came right after the announcement of the so-called AUKUS, a three-way partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Under its terms, the government in Canberra agreed to procure American nuclear-propelled submarines with the aim of modernising the Australian navy.
The UK joined in, turning the defence deal into a security pact focused on the Indo-Pacific region. All of this came to the detriment of France whose $38.6bn contract with Australia to build 12 diesel submarines was scrapped.
