突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情强烈冲击着2020年全球政治经济秩序，但美澳同盟仍显示出强大韧性。两国在政治、安全、经济、卫生等各领域的合作继续加深。两国同盟关系多边化和网络化的趋势进一步加强。虽然美国防疫不力让美澳同盟关系的民意基础面临一定的考验，但两国民众总体上依然坚定支持美澳同盟。随着美国新当选总统拜登的上台，美澳关系可能会在诸如气候政策等具体议题上面临新的调整，但预计两国同盟关系稳中有进。
The COVID-19 pandemic had delivered a major shock to global economy and politics. Yet，The US-Australia alliance demonstrated strong resilience against this backdrop. The two countries continued to deepen their cooperation over political，security，economic，and public health affairs. While the US’s poor handling of the pandemic to some extent damaged its image on the part of Australian people，the alliance still secured a solid social foundation in both countries. Furthermore，the trend of networking the alliance with wider partnerships was intensified. With the Biden administration taking office in 2021，the bilateral relationship，though facing new adjustments in some issues such as environment policy in all likelihood，is expected to remain stable，and even develop further.
