Washington Intervenes in International Space Cooperation
The Trump administration has reportedly pressured several major US space companies to reconsider attending a high-profile international space summit in Paris, organized by French President Emmanuel Macron. The summit aimed to bring together governments, space companies, and scientific institutions from around 120 countries to discuss the future of space exploration, security, and industry. The US pressure led to cancellations by SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other firms, affecting planned announcements and agreements. This development was first reported by Modern Diplomacy.
