The White House has discouraged the participation of American space companies, including SpaceX, in the space summit organized in Paris on 9 and 10 September 2026.

According to Politico, the Trump administration cites the risk of providing “tacit” support to the positions of the European Union and accuses France of lacking prior coordination as well as adopting anti-competitive practices.

The event, co-chaired by France and Germany and bringing together 120 countries, aims to discuss the geopolitical and security challenges of space. Although the White House refuses to directly comment on the call, it maintains that it is still cooperating with its allied partners.
