US President Donald Trump in September 2018 announced the re-establishment of the US Space Command administration as a unified corps with its own independent administration that will ensure both space control and the defence of US assets in space as well the U.S. military superiority over other countries in this new potential field of war.

Essentially, the USSPACECOM will take over all the protection of satellites, the protection of any future space stations made by the United States and the future defence of US territory on other planets, as a result of the conquest of space that will create human colonies on other planets in our solar system to extract and process rare earths and transport them initially to earth and until the first colonies-cities build up around these factories in these planets.
The announcement by President Donald Trump on 29 August 2019 on the mutation of the role of the USSPACECOM was about its new duties. Upgrading the role of USSPACECOM is achieved by recognising its command and power as the 6th Branch-“weapon” of the American Armed Forces, after the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, the Marine Corps and the Coast Guard.
So, this new branch of the US armed forces will gradually begin to absorb ever larger chapters from both the federal budget and the budget of all the armed forces. This was immediately shown by the power game which was unfolded by the heads of the other branches -“arms” of the US Armed Forces for who will be in control of the administration of this new “weapon”-branch.
Certainly, the funding of this new sector should have the approval of Congress-something that will be done-and it is estimated that this funding will be around $8 billion annually. But there are solutions that could be used as alternative sources of funding for the still largest budget of the USSPACECOM.
By September 2018, the USSPACECOM had a dual role. The commander-in-Chief of US Space Command (CNCUSSPACECOM) in addition to the role of the commander responsible for coordinating the outer space by the United States Armed Forces could also be the commander-in chief of the binational US-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (CINCNORAD).
In the same way the specific commander of the USSPACECOM could also be the commander of NATO ‘s respective Aerospace Defense Command and the respective Aerospace Defense Command of countries such as Australia, UK, Canada and New Zealand. In Europe, for example, could be in charge the Commander of the corresponding military and space French Air Force branch.
In such a case of new tasks and the other NATO member countries and the respective countries concerned would be obliged to contribute to the annual budget of the USSPACECOM or drastically increase their annual defence spending as NATO members and always at the limits set by the NATO statute saving more resources for the US budget to be they were headed towards the annual budget of the USSPACECOM.
The potential outer space that would correspond to NATO and these countries would be much greater than that which would correspond to the US.
