Trump asks Elon Musk to ‘go get’ Sunita Williams, says Biden abandoned her

US President Donald Trump has tasked tech titan Elon Musk’s SpaceX to bring back stranded Nasa astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore from the International Space Station (ISS) and blamed the Joe Biden administration for “abandoning” them.
In what was supposed to be a 10-day mission, Williams and Wilmore have been stranded on the space station for seven months since June 2024.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said he has asked Musk to “go get” the two “brave astronauts” who have been “virtually abandoned” in space by the Biden administration. “They have been waiting for many months on the Space Station. Elon will soon be on his way. Hopefully, all will be safe. Good luck Elon,” the US President said.
