White House Advises US Space Firms to Consider Skipping Paris Space Summit
The White House has reportedly advised American space companies, including SpaceX and others, to consider not attending a Paris space summit hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron. Officials expressed concerns that participation might imply support for European Union policy positions and criticized France for lacking coordination with the US and for alleged anti-competitive practices. The summit, co-chaired by France and Germany, aims to address challenges in outer space use, with global leaders and companies expected to attend. The White House emphasized that attendance decisions remain with the companies.
