Trump urged Musk to expedite the return of the "stranded" astronauts at the ISS as soon as possible.
U.S. President Donald Trump has accused Joe Biden's administration of failing to bring two American astronauts, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams, back to Earth. Since June 2024, they have been aboard the International Space Station due to issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.

In a message on his platform Truth Social, the new American president announced that he has asked SpaceX founder Elon Musk to go retrieve two astronauts whom the Biden administration has effectively left stranded in space.
Musk promised that SpaceX would fulfill the request as soon as possible.
In fact, Wilmore and Williams could return home at any time at NASA's discretion, as seats have already been reserved on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft (Crew-9 mission). He delivered Russian cosmonaut Alexander Gorbunov and NASA astronaut Nick Hague to orbit last September.
