Trump breaks silence on nationwide ground stop and demands more money from Congress
The Associated Press reports that President Trump broke his silence on the nationwide ground stop that snarled weekend air travel, using it to press Congress for money to fully upgrade an air traffic control system he says is largely 50 years old. The article traces the outage to a fiber wire replacement in El Dorado, Arkansas, that cascaded from Amarillo, Texas, while Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the administration's public face on the Sunday shows, says airlines should be back at full capacity by the end of the day.
