SpaceX's Starshield service used by the Ukrainian military is having difficulty carrying out operations due to access restrictions.
On the 23rd (local time), U.S. President Donald Trump said, "If there is a problem, I will correct it," regarding the continued restrictions on access to Starshield, a military satellite communication system essential for Ukraine's drone operations.
President Trump met with reporters on his way from the White House to Florida that day and said, "I heard the problem has been resolved, but if it hasn't been resolved, I will talk to him." The person President Trump mentioned was Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, which provides the Starshield service.
Asked whether he had contacted Musk about restoring Ukraine's access to Starshield services, Trump responded: "I haven't talked to him. I may have to talk to him, but I haven't yet."
“Elon would never do anything wrong. I know him very well, and he is a fair man,” he said.
Regarding the Starshield connection failure, President Trump said on the 16th, "It was not something I ordered." The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that in a phone call with Musk on the 21st, President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the speed of the Starshield used in Ukraine being limited to 100 miles (approximately 160 km).
President Trump said that Starshield connection had been restored to normal, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the previous day, "(Starshield speed) was limited and then increased a little," and "But it is still limited now."
President Trump spoke on the phone with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham that day. He told reporters that he had discussed with Prime Minister Burnham the British government's move to redevelop North Sea gas fields, which he said would "make Britain a very rich country".
Regarding the war in Iran, he said, "It could end very quickly," but asked, "Do we want to end it completely, or do we just want to let it slowly wither away?"
