Trump breaks silence on nationwide ground stop and demands more money from Congress
An Associated Press article by Seung Min Kim reports that President Trump broke his silence on the nationwide ground stop that disrupted airline travel over 13–15 November 2026, urging Congress to fund a full upgrade of an air traffic control system he called much outmoded and accusing the Biden administration of worsening it. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the administration's public face on the outage that began with a wire replacement in El Dorado, Arkansas, pressed Congress for billions across the Sunday shows and said airlines should be running at full capacity by the end of 15 November and into 16 November.
