Later that day at 18:28 UTC, Kennedy addressed fiscal responsibility within international alliances by writing, “Friends tell friends the truth: It’s time for the United Kingdom’s political leadership to embrace adulthood and pay their own bills for a while.”
At 19:00 UTC, Kennedy turned his attention to advancements in American space exploration and praised local contributions: “.@NASAStennis and Louisiana’s Michoud Assembly Facility are home to some incredibly talented folks. I’m proud of the role they played in Artemis II and all the work they do to better America’s space program.”
