Investing.com -- Recent State Department cables reveal that the United States has been urging countries facing tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump to approve Elon Musk’s satellite company, Starlink, according to a report by the Washington Post on Wednesday.
The cables indicate that U.S. embassies and the State Department have been actively encouraging countries to overcome regulatory obstacles for satellite companies, often specifically mentioning Starlink. The documents do not demonstrate that the Trump administration has offered tariff reductions in exchange for favors towards Starlink.
The cables also reveal that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has directed officials to advocate for regulatory approvals for Musk’s satellite business. The documents, however, do not provide evidence that these instructions are tied to any tariff negotiations.
