Rubio says US unaware of Ukraine Starlink and Starshield issues

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Wednesday that the US government was unaware of problems with Ukraine's Starlink and Starshield satellite communications, and that President Donald Trump had no involvement in decisions made by Elon Musk's SpaceX. Rubio stated in Mumbai that SpaceX is a private company and Trump cannot order it to act, adding there was no prior knowledge of the issues. He also described Tuesday's talks in Oslo between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and White House envoy Steve Witkoff as "positive." Witkoff is now traveling to Russia to share ideas from the Oslo discussions with Russian authorities. Rubio said the meeting produced no surprises and that the next steps depend on whether progress can be made with the Russian side.
