Australian Court Approves Extradition of Ex-Marine to US Over Chinese Pilot Training

Daniel Duggan, a former US Marine, faces charges of violating arms-control laws by training Chinese military pilots.

An Australian magistrate ruled Daniel Duggan can be extradited to the US, pending the attorney general's final decision.
Duggan, who has been in custody since 2022, denies the charges and claims they are politically motivated.
The allegations involve training Chinese pilots over a decade ago without US authorization, potentially violating arms-control laws.
Duggan's family and legal team are appealing to the Australian attorney general to reconsider the extradition.
The case has sparked warnings to military personnel in Australia and the UK about working for foreign powers.
