White House urges US space firms to skip Macron’s Paris summit: Report

The White House is reportedly urging American space firms to decline an invitation to a Paris summit. This discouragement stems from concerns about tacit support for European Union policy positions. Officials also cited a lack of US coordination and perceived anti-competitive practices by France. The summit aims to discuss challenges related to the use of outer space. Global leaders and companies are expected to attend the French-German co-chaired event.
