Very unlikely NZ would accept that.
Especially if Trump or similar leadership holds power in the US.
Brexit had little effect on NZ except reviving interest from Britain in redeveloping traditional trade ties and freeing Britain from some EU constraints.
The US is abandoning its traditional allies as it displays more insular and isolationist tendencies.
The US is increasingly seen as an unreliable 'protector' and Trump re-election would substantially accelerate that decline in relationships.
China already offers NZ and many other western economies far more value added than the US does.
To me the real interesting part is that all of these places are self sufficient but the media has done is job of creating scarcity.
All the resources we have are gifts from God. Mother Earth is a gift. She is the place we live on and she is a very special place for humans.
Each continent, Island and land mass is meant to change with time. Trade and resource movement is how we work out our desires with each other.

It's already the fact on the ground, there's no debating it. NZ isn't a self-sufficient country and thus depends on the US for intelligence and defense matters... Australia rolling out US nuclear boats made it official, the Pacific is consolidating.
All that's remaining is the optics.

You clearly have no idea wtf is going on, wake up its WW3

If Trump is elected he has declared he will end the war and Ukraine and that will mean doing a deal with Putin...rewarding Chinese backed military aggression. Taiwan would be next.
Yes its WW3 and Chinese client state proxies are invading western allies and US allies feel abandoned by an America that is internally divided and increasingly isolated and dysfunctional.

Do you have any takes you didn't copy and paste out of a main stream news headline?

I am referencing what Trump has said and nothing else that the MSM is saying. ..rather mostly that which is not being said...and clearly you cannot respond to it either without trying to shoot the messenger with disingenuous and false assertions.

referencing what Trump has said
right before a retarded speculative rant over the implications that looks like something off the cover of The Atlantic
