    It’s amazing how one company gets approval from one country and will have 1000s of objects across the planet. Shouldn’t we have an international body of some sort at this point?

      Says who?

      Europe? The blue Navi in the movie Avatar?

        I think the idea would be to create a treaty framework and have candidate nations vote internally on whether to join. There's a clear benefit to coordinating space activity (imo), but I don't think the current US admin sees international cooperation as a net good. Even historically, the US tends not to be very democratic about foreign policy choices.
