BREAKING: President Donald Trump has issued a formal White House proclamation declaring that outer space is open to human settlement and pledging to establish a permanent American presence beyond Earth.

Titled “The American Declaration of Freedom in Space,” the proclamation states that the solar system and all of outer space are open to exploration, development and the establishment of a permanent presence by American citizens.

Trump reaffirmed several major U.S. ambitions:
• Return American astronauts to the Moon by 2028.
• Establish the foundation for a permanent American lunar presence.
• Accelerate efforts to send the first American astronauts to Mars.
• Expand the commercial space industry and strengthen U.S. national security capabilities in orbit.

The declaration emphasizes that space belongs to all humanity, with American exploration and development remaining subject to U.S. law and international obligations.

The proclamation was signed November 3, 2026.
