Four American companies cancel participation in the International Space Summit in Paris

Four American companies, including the giants Blue Origin and Space X, have canceled their participation in the International Space Summit organized in Paris on 9 and 10 September. AFP learned this from sources in the Ministry of Research and Space. "It is difficult not to link the cancellation to the rumors of pressure mentioned in the press - the ministry said in a message - We obviously want to continue working with our American partners and allies, even if strategic changes and political pressure sometimes make the task unnecessarily complex". The ministry specifies that the other two companies that canceled their presence at the summit are Stoke Space and Starcloud. According to what Politico wrote earlier today, the White House pushed American space companies not to participate in the summit, wanted by French President Emmanuel Macron.
