AI Summary:
US Space Command – also known as “SpaceCom” – was launched during Trump’s first term as president in 2019. It is a separate body from the US military Space Force. Space Command handles US military operations outside the Earth’s atmosphere. Trump slipped in a critique of Colorado’s mail-in voting system. Alabama is also a red state where Trump enjoys support. In 2021, the Air Force chose Huntsville as the preferred location for Space Command. In 2023, the Biden administration decided that moving the command to Huntsville would avoid a disruption in readiness. Colorado lawmakers had claimed it would take until 2030 to complete the construction of the new headquarters in Alabama, which would result in a long transition. On Tuesday, Trump said his initial plans to move the command were “wrongfully obstructed”. Biden’s 2023 decision also came when Alabama Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville was rallying against the Pentagon’s abortion policy by holding up more than 400 military nominations and promotions. U.S. Officials from the Biden administration anonymously told The Associated Press news agency that Biden’s decision to keep the command in Colorado was not affected by the abortion issue.
