The administration of US President Donald Trump wants to end funding for the ISS space station by 2025.
This was reported by The Verge, but could still change before it is officially announced as the policy needs to be approved by Congress, even if the statement of intent to cancel funding for the ISS could serve as a signal to other partners that Washington does not want to continue the program.
Earlier, there were reports that Russia could limit cooperation with the United States in space. This is Moscow's response to new sanctions imposed by Washington. Among them, it is expected to stop flights of American astronauts to the ISS.
