U.S. President Donald Trump announced Friday the creation of a national academy to train future recruits for the U.S. space agency NASA and the Space Force, amid growing competition in the sector, particularly with China, according to Agence France-Presse.

Speaking during a medal ceremony at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Trump said: “I will sign an executive order to begin the process of creating a new national academy. It will be called the United States Space Academy.”

“This academy is very important,” Trump added. “Its mission will be to recruit the best talent our country has to offer, train them and graduate them.”

Trump said the institution would serve NASA, the private space sector and the U.S. Space Force, the sixth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, which he established during his first term.

The U.S. president did not specify where the academy would be located.

UEFA is preparing to file a complaint under Swiss law against FIFA President Gianni Infantino, a Swiss-Italian, over allegations of "mismanagement" linked to an abandoned project aimed at opening the World Cup to investment from private-sector investors, a source familiar with the matter told Agence France-Presse (AFP) on Thursday.

The project had been developed in secret before it was revealed and subsequently abandoned during the current summer.

UEFA believes the project "caused direct and tangible damage to FIFA's reputation," according to a preliminary request filed with a court in the U.S. state of Florida seeking documents related to the project.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said Israel is advancing battle preparations across all fronts, including Iran, Lebanon and Gaza, while maintaining a high level of readiness.
