Trump Breaks Silence on Nationwide Ground Stop and Demand More Money From Congress
Trump said Congress should fund a full overhaul after a weekend ground stop stranded passengers and disrupted airline travel.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump broke his silence on the nationwide ground stop, using the travel disruption to pressure Congress for funding to modernize America's air traffic control system.
- Much of the current air control infrastructure is 50 years old, which Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has repeatedly characterized as inadequate, arguing previous funding served only as a down payment on broader overhaul.
- Contractor L3Harris Technologies Inc. triggered the system overload while replacing copper wire with fiber, prompting "deep diagnostics" on routers recovered from Federal Aviation Administration facilities in Texas and Arkansas.
- Duffy told CBS' "Face the Nation" that airspace delays are clearing and airliners should return to full capacity by Monday, as crews repositioned after the ground stop disruption.
- Trump criticized the administration of former President Joe Biden, contrasting the $25 billion infrastructure bill with the $12.5 billion Republican tax package, arguing neither prevented the system's "old and broken" state.
