Joe Biden has decided to keep US Space Command headquarters in Colorado, overturning a decision by the Trump administration to move it to Alabama and ending months of politically fuelled debate, according to senior officials.

The officials said US President Mr Biden was convinced by the head of Space Command, Gen James Dickinson, who argued that moving his headquarters now would jeopardise military readiness.
