Trump breaks silence, calls for FAA funding after airline ground stop
USA TODAY reports that Donald Trump broke nearly two days of silence on Nov. 15 to call for additional FAA funding after a Nov. 13 nationwide ground stop halted thousands of flights. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blames a replaced router that flooded the system and seeks $50 million, while Democrats counter that most of the $12.5 billion Congress approved in 2025 remains unspent and demand oversight.
