  "summary": "Donald Trump blamed the administration of Joe Biden for a nationwide ground stop that disrupted domestic and international travel. In posts on his Truth Social platform, Trump described the Biden administration's aviation management as a \"disaster\" and claimed that money was spent unwisely, making an aging air traffic control system worse.\n\nThe aviation crisis, which involved thousands of flight cancellations and a four-hour nationwide halt on Friday, was attributed by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to a faulty router or a contractor's error. Trump urged Congress to provide funding to modernize the country's air traffic control infrastructure, stating that his administration has the knowledge and plan to build the system quickly if the money is approved.",
