Summary
Trump reportedly called Elon Musk to lift speed restrictions on SpaceX's Starshield network that had hampered Ukrainian drone operations, the Wall Street Journal reported. Trump confirmed restrictions were eased but would not confirm making the call, saying "he put it back." Ukrainian soldiers and officials say connections still fail when drones fly at high speeds, despite Trump's statement that the issue was resolved.
