US cautions Europe on Starlink restrictions

Reports have indicated that U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, Andrew Buzr, warned European companies against imposing restrictions on internet services provided by American companies, particularly Starlink, as such measures could lead to "destructive" retaliatory actions by the United States. This comes after the European Commission proposed allocating satellite communication frequencies limited to European companies, which threatens SpaceX's ability to compete in the European market. The American official confirmed that these policies could result in tariffs and restrictions from Washington, as part of the European Union's efforts to achieve "technological sovereignty" and reduce reliance on American companies—especially amid trade tensions and potential technological conflicts. The restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine have also sparked widespread criticism, notably from Ukraine itself, which relies on the service for high-speed internet that aids in defending its territory against Russia.
