The administration of US President Donald Trump is making efforts to convince American space companies not to participate in an international summit taking place in Paris next week. The event was initiated by French President Emmanuel Macron.
According to reports, White House officials have communicated their position to the companies, warning of potential consequences of such participation. According to the administration's official reasoning, the presence of US delegations at the forum could be interpreted as "tacit support for the political positions of the European Union."
