United States President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the headquarters of US Space Command, the agency he launched during his first term as president to “defend US interests in space”, will be relocated to Alabama.
Here is what is happening and why it matters.
US Space Command – also known as “SpaceCom” – was launched during Trump’s first term as president in 2019 and has its current headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is a separate body from the US military Space Force.
