Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has urged the Trump administration to review its military equipment shipping policy after F-35 stealth fighter components from Australia, intended for repair in the U.S., were rerouted to Hong Kong and ended up in Chinese hands. The Pentagon is already investigating the incident. Cotton wants the Defense Secretary to examine chain-of-custody requirements, tracking abilities, route change procedures, foreign jurisdiction transit criteria, and safeguards against diversions to adversarial nations.
