A SWING AND A MISS: Did Trump Just Declare Space Warfare? Starts strong, but then:

But the question of the extent of military uses and what role(s) may be performed by Trump’s Space Force is still unknown.

The way it’s written, the treaty is a bit vague, with certain loopholes and ways countries could get around it. For instance, in Article IV, the treaty only explicitly bans nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction. However, there are many types of weapons that could be used in space that do not fall under these categories—and the U.S. and other countries are already pursuing some of them.

This is the reason why Trump cites the need for his proposed Space Force. The administration believes Russia and China are working to surpass the U.S. in space technology, issuing a cause for urgency.

So it’s a no, then.
