Trump set to move Space Command headquarters to Alabama from Colorado, sources say

By Mike Stone

Washington (Reuters) -Trump administration plans to announce that it will carry the US Space Command center to Colorado Springs, Colorado, Alabama, Alabama, according to the US official and negotiations.

Pentagon’s Public Relations Website said that President Donald Trump is expected to make a “headquarters announcement of the US Space Command” at 14:00 (1800 GMT).

The decision would reversed a movement under the direction of former President Joe Biden, who chose Colorado Springs as a permanent home for the newest war command of the army in 2023.

It can lead to a displacement debate, and the critics who argue that Switch seems to be designed to support Alabama, a reliable Republican State through Colorado, who increased more democratic in the last elections. Space Command is currently operating temporarily from the Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs.

According to the congress records, approximately 1,700 staff are working in Space Command.

The movement would reward Trump’s three Republican Presidential proposal at the expense of someone who opposed them.

Trump often connected the federal financing decisions and politics. The US President previously prevented the movement of FBI’s headquarters to Maryland and called it a “liberal state” and proposed to link the disaster assistance in California to the state’s policy decisions.

A large center for defense contractors such as Huntsville and L3harris and Lockheed Martin, which hosts NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, has long been lobbying for the space command headquarters.
