If Trump had done this, the PT would be living it up, talking about The Art of the Deal, how great it is to have a president who is America First, and asking everyone if they are tired of winning yet.

It really depends upon the context because I seriously doubt Trump would have given Australia, even if they are a FVEY, our nuclear secrets. And besides, Biden was elected to rebuild rapport with the United Nations after four years of Trumpianism. Instead, he's managed to piss off our closest ally (Britain) in regards to how we handled the withdrawal from Afghanistan and our oldest ally (France) in regards to this new agreement between ourselves, the British and Australia.

You do know the UK is a co-signatory of the US-Australian pact right?

Meaning, while this may have thrown a wrench into US-French relations, it may have helped restore faith in US-UK relations.

Edit: Maybe “restore faith” is a bit too optimistic at this point, but it is technically the US-UK-Australian defense pact, so the UK still seems willing to go along with us as a major military partner.

You know who Biden will never piss off? China.
