U.S. Warns Russia Not to Deploy Space Weapon

“The U.S. government has been in direct contact with Russia to warn Moscow not to deploy a new nuclear-armed antisatellite weapon, which it said would violate the Outer Space Treaty and jeopardize U.S. national security interests,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The outreach to Moscow is part of a broader diplomatic campaign that the Biden administration is mounting to head off the threat that also involves approaches to China, India, G-7 nations and other close allies that have interests in space and channels to Moscow.”
