Sen. Cruz Praises Defense Intelligence Agency’s Report Supporting the Need for Space Force

‘The Defense Intelligence Agency’s report is a timely, clear-eyed, and accessible assessment of the national security threats we face in space from rivals’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) today released the following statement in response to the Defense Intelligence Agency’s report “Challenges to Security in Space”:

“The Defense Intelligence Agency’s report is a timely, clear-eyed, and accessible assessment of the national security threats we face in space from rivals such as China and Russia, and from outright enemies such as Iran and North Korea. The investments those rivals are making in space capabilities demand our immediate attention. That is why last year I introduced legislation advancing preparation for establishing a Space Force, and I applaud the president’s leadership on this critical issue.”
