On Trump's so-called 'Liberation Day', a number of countries suddenly discovered that they were to be whacked with massive tariffs from the United States - including some of the poorest countries in the world.

Curiously, for a number of them this started with granting Elon Musk's business SpaceX with a licence to run its Starlink satellite internet service in the country. Now, a new report from internal memos in the State Department, shows how the Trump administration has been pushing and promoting Starlink across the world. 'Conflict of interest' doesn't come close. Let's discuss.
