SpaceX, Stoke, Starcloud skip Paris Space Summit citing White House pressure

SpaceX, Stoke Space, and Starcloud—three U.S. space firms—withdrew from the Paris Space Summit scheduled for September 9-10, reportedly due to White House pressure. The move signals potential U.S. government influence over private-sector international engagements, possibly linked to broader transatlantic tensions. The exact nature of the pressure and its policy motivations remain unconfirmed.
