Trump Vows New US Air Show Will Be Biggest in the World
Trump said the new public-private event will challenge major air shows in Britain, France and Dubai and attract Boeing and other aerospace companies.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump announced CapeWeek, a new space and aeronautics conference debuting in two years at Kennedy Space Center, pledging it would be the "biggest air show anywhere in the world."
- Trump championed this initiative after encouraging space companies to forgo an upcoming summit in Paris; the conference is being developed by a public-private partnership including NASA, the state of Florida, and Space Florida.
- Trump's visit to Cape Canaveral marked his first address since Democrats won control of Congress on November 5, leaving the administration facing increased oversight and new checks on power.
- In response to the political fallout, Trump announced a staff shake-up replacing chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller while claiming the country lost $3 trillion because of an election.
- Florida Republicans, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, avoided sweeping losses seen elsewhere, though DeSantis previously called the midterm results an "extinction level event for Republicans in many parts of the country.
