Mexican President: Considering filing a lawsuit over the wreckage of the US "Starship" falling into the country

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said at a press conference at the presidential palace on the 25th that the Mexican government is investigating the fall of the debris of the "Starship" rocket launched by the US Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) and is considering filing a corresponding lawsuit in accordance with international law. Sheinbaum said that the US rocket launch activities on the US-Mexico border affect Mexico's security and environment. The Mexican government will specifically evaluate the impact of the rocket launch on the relevant areas of Mexico and study whether the US behavior violates international law. In May this year, the US Federal Aviation Administration approved SpaceX to significantly increase the launch test of the "Starship" rocket from southern Texas, near the US-Mexico border, and the annual launch number will increase from 5 to 25 times, and claimed that it will not have an adverse impact on the environment. On the evening of the 18th of this month, a "Starship" test rocket exploded severely during a static ignition test. Mexican media reported that part of the rocket debris fell into the coastal area of Tamaulipas State in northeastern Mexico, bringing pollutants that have affected the local ecological environment.

White House begins review of SpaceX federal contracts

On June 13 local time, CCTV reporters learned that people familiar with the matter reported that earlier this month, the White House instructed the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to collect detailed information on SpaceX's multi-billion dollar contracts. This move was taken after US President Trump and Musk had a public conflict. People familiar with the matter said that in preparation for possible retaliatory measures against Musk and his company, the government has ordered relevant agencies to carefully review its contracts, which has triggered an ongoing review. It is not clear whether the White House plans to cancel SpaceX's existing federal contracts totaling approximately US$22 billion. But this review shows that the Trump administration is fulfilling the threat he made during his dispute with Musk last week, that it may terminate business dealings and subsidy support with Musk's companies. In an email to Reuters, a White House spokesman did not directly respond to questions about Musk's companies, only saying: "The Trump administration is committed to rigorous review of all bids and contracts."
