Mexico, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, is threatening legal action against SpaceX, blaming pollution caused by Starship rocket launches.

The Mexican government is looking into possible violations of international laws by SpaceX because of the negative environmental impact caused by Starship rocket launches near the Texas border. President Claudia Sheinbaum said it would initiate 'necessary follow-up' to address the pollution. Environmental groups have also challenged the environmental impact assessments, and the FAA has approved an increase in the frequency of launches, despite criticism. This could spark a significant legal showdown between Mexico and SpaceX.
