US warns of 'devastating' countermeasures if EU restricts SpaceX market access

The US ambassador to the EU, Andrew Puzder, has warned of "devastating" countermeasures if Brussels restricts European market access for American companies like SpaceX. He did not specify what these measures would entail. The European Commission proposed reserving some radio frequencies exclusively for European firms to boost technological sovereignty and reduce dependence on the US, citing President Trump's unpredictability. SpaceX has sharply criticized the plan. SpaceX argues the restrictions could endanger satellite support in Ukraine, where its Starlink network aids military communications and drone operations. Ukrainian forces recently faced Starlink issues after the White House reportedly ordered speed limits on drones.
