President Donald Trump and NASA announced plans on Friday for a major new space and aeronautics industry conference in the United States, designed to surpass leading international air shows and showcase American technological dominance.
Named “CapeWeek,” the event is scheduled to launch in two years at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Trump described the initiative as a strategic alternative to prominent overseas gatherings, coming after the White House previously urged domestic space companies to skip a high-profile global space summit in Paris organized by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The initiative aims to promote American power in space and aeronautics while attracting global business and investment. The new conference will join a busy international calendar of major aviation events, including large-scale exhibitions in Paris, Farnborough, England, and Dubai, which draw thousands of executives, government officials, and engineers.
