The US is reportedly encouraging countries to adopt Musk’s Starlink in tariff trade talks

The US government is prompting several countries to adopt Starlink, a satellite internet service from Elon Musk, as part of ongoing tariff trade discussions. Internal communications reveal that the State Department and Embassies are pushing for regulatory approvals, with no direct incentives offered but emphasizing American companies' success. India recently cleared Starlink's proposal, accelerating its market entry there. The White House and State Department highlight Trump's focus on protecting American interests in both domestic and global markets, urging support for Starlink's adoption to avoid conflicts of interest and enhance US influence internationally.
