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.

Imperialism uses the threat of force to seize more than free trade would deliver to the imperialist.
This is as intrinsic to human nature and the age old competition between tribes as our DNA.

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.
US is abandoning its traditional allies
You clearly have no idea wtf is going on, wake up its WW3
reply
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.

People do die when an aggressor invades a sovereign nation and that nation decides, against the odds to fight back for its sovereignty and with the support of other democracies.
Britain resisted the Nazi takeover of Europe when all others were for appeasement and surrender.
It was only when the USA was itself invaded that the tables began to turn.
If you think appeasement of war criminal Putin and his Chinese sponsors will be the end of their expansion plans, think again.
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
US allies feel abandoned by an America
holy fuck the brainwash
reply
Ending the war in Ukraine swiftly strongly implies withdrawing further US support for Ukraines defense. That is the only way Trump could achieve such a goal. Such a move rewards Chinese backed military attack on Europes frontline. If you cannot see how Europe and Ukraine more specifically would feel abandoned then holy fuck indeed.
You clearly think that more tariffs and more refusals to work with traditional allies such as Trumps refusal to join the Asia Pacific trade deal that still went ahead but without USA are evidence of an America engaged and supportive of its traditional trade partners and allies. Holy fuck indeed.

Study this and study this well.
This is a Masonic Tracing board. The things that you are told are not what they seem.

You have not credibly refuted anything I have said.
If you think abusing and ridiculing the messenger refutes the message, you are wrong.
All you have proven is you do not engage in fact based reason based debate.
You have not backed up your beliefs with any credible argument.
