Despite reports that U.S. senators are considering blocking future forward-deployments of American fighters and spycraft to the United Kingdom, the U.S. Air Force says it’s not changing its near-term plans.

Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, had proposed an amendment to the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act to halt deployments of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter to Royal Air Force Lakenheath over the U.K.'s choice to allow Chinese firm Huawei to build that nation's 5G communications network.
