U.S. Military Prepares for Lunar Combat as Canada Moves Closer to EU Amid Tensions
U.S. military officials, including Gen. Dan Caine and Lt. Gen. Gregory Gagnon, stated that American troops must prepare for combat not only in Earth's orbit but also around the moon, reflecting a new frontier in warfare. This follows the U.S. revealing deployment of on-orbit space control weapons. The Space Force, established in 2019, aims to defend U.S. interests as space becomes a potential battleground. Separately, tensions between the U.S. and Canada under President Trump have pushed Canada closer to the European Union, with the EU inviting Canada as an associate member amid ongoing trade disputes and diplomatic strains.
