The U.S. Navy was operating in international waters conducting a standard exercise, and China should return the underwater vehicle immediately, said Gardner. As a start, I urge the Administration to recall the U.S. Ambassador to China until the U.S. Navy's property is returned and a formal apology is issued. The United States must send a message to China, unilaterally and through the United Nations, that if its hostile behavior in the South China Sea continues, there will be repercussions. ### Cory Gardner is a member of the U.S. Senate serving Colorado. He sits on the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee, the Commerce, Science, & Transportation Committee, and the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee, and is the Chairman of the Subcommittee on East Asia, the Pacific, and International Cybersecurity Policy. 354 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, DC 20515 (202) 224-5941 | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
