How Trump's budget cuts could derail global science collaborations
Briefly

The future of Europe’s ExoMars rover and other international space missions is in jeopardy due to proposed budget cuts from the Trump administration that could slash NASA's science funding by nearly 50%. NASA had previously agreed to support ExoMars’s launch and landing alongside other ESA missions, but these plans are threatened if US funding is terminated. The European Space Agency is currently evaluating the implications of these cuts as discussions unfold, with concerns about a loss of trust between international agencies.
