“We are actively pursuing where do we want our part-time workforce? What type of work do they do?” the head ofGen. Chance Saltzman, said Thursday at a POLITICO conference.

The Space Force was established by President Donald Trump in late 2019, during his first term. In the years since, the Air Force has transferred its space missions into the now five-year-old military branch — except for the 578 positions still contained in the Air National Guard, which is part of the Air Force. In the 2025 defense bill, Congress mandated that those positions move over to the Space Force as well.The transferred service members would be a part-time force like they are now, just serving under the Space Force instead of their state units.But space missions are some of the most lucrative across the military and private sector and the states that lose space mission service member billets are potentially losing highly valuable part-time workforce members if they have to move away to transfer in to the Space Force.

Last month, the National Governors Association said the transfers violate their right to retain control over their state units.“We urge that any transfers cease immediately and that there be direct and open engagement with governors,” the Association said in April. The group was not immediately available to comment on Space Force’s plan.

“There’s a lot of concern in the National Guard about these individuals who are highly skilled that want to be in the Guard being transferred out,” Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin said at an Air Force manpower hearing this week.

The contention between the states and the Space Force has meant the service hasn’t so far been able to approach individual members about transferring in.La Casa Blanca ha criticado duramente a cualquiera que haya expresado preocupación por el efecto bola de nieve de la deuda en el gobierno de Trump, a pesar de que hizo precisamente eso durante su primer mandato tras los recortes de impuestos de 2017.

Karoline Leavitt, la secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, dijo al inicio de su sesión informativa el jueves que quería “desmentir algunas afirmaciones falsas” sobre los recortes de impuestos de Trump.Leavitt puntualizó que la “afirmación flagrantemente errónea de que el “Proyecto de Ley Único, Grande y Hermoso” aumenta el déficit se basa en la Oficina de Presupuesto del Congreso y otros analistas que utilizan suposiciones deficientes y que históricamente han sido pésimos en sus proyecciones, tanto en gobiernos demócratas como republicanos”.

Pero el propio Trump ha sugerido que la falta de recortes de gastos suficientes para compensar sus reducciones de impuestos resultó de la necesidad de mantener unida a la coalición republicana en el Congreso.“Tenemos que conseguir muchos votos”, dijo Trump la semana pasada. “No podemos estar haciendo recortes”.
