U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday (September 2, 2025) that U.S. Space Command will be located in Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary headquarters in Colorado.

The long-expected decision from Mr. Trump caps a four-year tug of war between the two states and opposing administrations about where to locate U.S. Space Command, an intense fight because the headquarters would be a significant boon to the local economy.
