The US War Secretary claims that space must be controlled
US War Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed that the US military must control space.
"We must control the absolute high ground. We all know this, every Marine knows: whoever controls the high ground controls the battlefield," Hegseth said at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
This Pentagon official is on a "World Armory" tour and has given speeches at defense manufacturing plants across the United States.
"We will unleash America's absolute advantage in space," Hegseth said, recalling the establishment of the Space Force within the Pentagon during President Trump's first term.
The war secretary stated that it is not enough for the United States to only control the airspace and seas of its hemisphere. "Space is the absolute high ground."
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has said that the US is actively working to deploy weapons in space and has rejected Russia's request to abandon such actions, opposing only the deployment of nuclear weapons.
