US Warns EU of 'Devastating' Retaliation over Satellite Spectrum Plan
Andrew Puzder said EU spectrum limits could trigger severe U.S. market retaliation as Brussels weighs rules that may curb SpaceX access.
- United States Ambassador Andrew Puzder warned Brussels that European companies would face 'devastating' retaliation if the European Commission restricts American competitors' access to radio spectrum, targeting firms including SpaceX.
- The dispute centers on a European Commission proposal to reserve radio spectrum for European companies, which would restrict access for Chinese and American firms competing in the satellite communications market.
- Puzder told the Financial Times that European firms 'should be wary that it could happen,' arguing that restricting American companies is 'not a legitimate goal' of such legislation given the size of the American market.
- Ukrainian officials recently reported restrictions on Starshield terminals, while Ukraine's leader claimed SpaceX was throttling Starlink speeds in a 'planned operation'—a charge the White House rejected.
- Experts argued in Malay Mail that ASEAN must recognize digital sovereignty is inseparable from strategic sovereignty, while Canada is reportedly exploring Starlink alternatives as nations probe dependencies on Elon Musk-owned technology.
