Trump says ageing aviation system likely behind FAA ground stop, not cyberattack
President Donald Trump said there is no evidence of a cyberattack or AI involvement as officials investigate nationwide flight disruption.
President Donald Trump stated that the nationwide US flight ground stop was likely caused by aging aviation infrastructure rather than a cyberattack or artificial intelligence, according to Fox News' Peter Doocy. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) halted departures across the country after a telecommunications outage affected air traffic operations.
Trump claimed the disruption stemmed from "old broken stuff" within the aviation system that his administration had attempted to modernize. Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin also said there was no indication that the US was under attack, though they were not ruling out any possibility while the investigation continued.
