Trump blames Biden for FAA ground stop disrupting US flights, urges Congress to fund air traffic system upgrade.
US President Donald Trump has urged Congress to swiftly provide funding for a comprehensive overhaul of the nation's air traffic control system. In a series of posts on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the previous Biden administration of mishandling the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and praised current agency leadership for having a blueprint to modernize flight control operations.
Trump expressed concern that outdated equipment and misallocated funds under the Biden administration had worsened the situation. He emphasized that the current air control system is 50 years old and called for Congress to approve the necessary funds for a single-phase upgrade rather than piecemeal funding.
