Trump called Musk and urged him to lift Starshield restrictions for Ukraine

According to the Wall Street Journal, the speed of a system used by Ukraine was previously limited to around 100 mph, affecting drone effectiveness. Trump expressed frustration over these restrictions and sought to reverse the slowdown. Following a conversation between Trump and Musk, the system reportedly began functioning more normally, although it had not fully regained its capabilities. Experts noted that lifting the speed limits could enhance Ukraine's operational capabilities. The White House maintains that Trump did not request the speed reduction, while Musk's decision remains debated. Vice President J.D. Vance supported Musk's stance, emphasizing the need for clear government guidance.
