WASHINGTON—U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer is asking the federal government to investigate if a plan for new subway cars in New York City, designed by a Chinese state-owned firm, could pose a threat to national security.
The move comes after China’s CRRC Corp, the world’s top passenger train maker, was slammed by U.S. lawmakers during a hearing on May 16 to limit its access to U.S. projects amid security fears.
