United States has pushed some nations facing tariffs imposed by Donald Trump to approve Elon Musk’s Starlink, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing State Department cables.
The cables show how U.S. embassies and the department pushed countries to clear hurdles for satellite companies, often mentioning Starlink by name, the Post reported.
The documents do not show that the Trump administration has demanded favors for Starlink in exchange for lower tariffs, the newspaper reported. But they indicate that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has instructed officials to push for regulatory approvals for Musk’s satellite firm, it reported.
Government corruption at its most obvious…. Shouldn’t these people be arrested and banned from government by now?
These people control the "arresting and banning’ people so they can do what they want. That’s kinda what dictatorship is all about.
Not just most obvious but it’s blatant. Expecting receipt of something of value in return for government action is the actual definition of corruption
It’s up to you Binky. Make it good.
