Tariff, ill-health & more: Trump speech highlights
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced that the headquarters of US Space Command will be relocated to Huntsville, Alabama, reversing a Biden-era decision to keep it at its temporary base in Colorado.
“The US Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City,” Trump said at the Oval Office, flanked by Alabama’s Republican congressional delegation. “We had a lot of competition for this and Alabama’s getting it. They fought harder for it than anybody else.”
The announcement ended a four-year tussle between Alabama and Colorado, as well as between Trump and Biden administrations, over the facility. Both states had argued the move would provide economic benefits and enhance their role in national defense.Trump dismisses reports about healthTrump also dismissed...
