Trump White House just tossed a grenade into international space relations
摘要
美国白宫近期施压多家美国太空企业，包括SpaceX、蓝色起源、Stoke Space、K2及Starcloud，要求其退出由法国总统马克龙主办的高规格巴黎太空峰会。据Politico报道，白宫科技政策办公室官员在上周晚些时候与相关企业通话，直接促成多数企业临时退出，仅少数美方代表仍保留在为期两天的议程中。此举被外界视为对国际太空合作惯例的冲击，引发外交层面的
The normally genteel world of international space policy turned ugly this week as several prominent US space companies—including SpaceX, Blue Origin, Stoke Space, K2, and Starcloud—pulled out of a high-profile French space summit organized by the country's president, Emmanuel Macron.
Politico first reported the diplomatic turmoil, saying that the White House "pressured" US space companies to skip Macron's space summit in Paris next week. Since then, the companies have largely pulled out of the meeting without commenting publicly, though some US representation remains on the two-day program.
Multiple sources confirmed to Ars that an official with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, or OSTP, led the call with US space companies late last week. The call was convened in response to queries from US industry about the French meeting, which is not part of the traditional circuit of international space conferences.
