US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced that the US Space Command headquarters will be relocated from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama. Trump’s decision reversed the previous Biden administration’s 2023 decision to keep the command headquarters at Colorado Springs.
“I am thrilled to report that the US Space Command headquarters will move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama, forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City,” Trump said at the White House.

On Tariffs against India, Trump said, "We get along with India very well, but for many years it was a one-sided relationship… India was charging us tremendous tariffs, the highest in the world. They were about the highest in the world… We weren't doing much business with India, but they were doing business with us because we weren't charging them foolishly. They would send in a massive amount of everything they made, and pour it into our country… Therefore, it wouldn't be made here, which is a negative. But we would not send in anything because they were charging us 100% tariffs. For example, Harley-Davidson couldn't sell in India. There was a 200% tariff on a motorcycle. Harley-Davidson went to India and built a motorcycle plant. Now they don't have to pay tariffs. So what we're doing is thousands of companies are coming into the US… We have many car company factories under construction; they're coming from China, Mexico and Canada… They're coming because they want to build here for two reasons. Number 1, they'd like to be here. And number 2, the tariffs are protecting them. And number 3, they want to avoid paying tariffs. When they build their cars here, they don't have to pay any tariffs. When you build here, you don't have any tariffs."
