Spain’s first suborbital rocket launch was postponed for the second time due to poor weather conditions. The Miura 1 rocket, built by PLD Space, was set to launch from a military base in southwest Spain but was delayed due to strong winds. Another launch attempt is planned in the coming days. The rocket has already passed a successful “hot test” and is designed for reusability to reduce energy consumption and space debris.
US President Donald Trump warned that Russia will face severe economic sanctions unless it agrees to a ceasefire in Ukraine within 50 days. “My call to Putin is clear. If a meaningful ceasefire is not reached, we will impose 100% secondary tariffs,” Trump said after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.
Trump added that the sanctions would also target countries trading with Russia and stressed he would bypass Congress if necessary. He blamed the ongoing war on President Joe Biden’s policies and stated, “This is not my war. I’m here to end it.”
He also announced that the US would supply NATO with advanced weapons, but insisted that European countries must cover the costs. “European countries will pay,” he said, promising rapid delivery of air defense systems and munitions to Ukraine.
