Trump Breaks Silence On U.S. Ground Stop

“President Donald Trump on Sunday broke his silence on the nationwide ground stop that snarled airline travel this weekend, using the incident to push Congress on money to fully upgrade America’s air traffic control system,” the Associated Press reports.

“The Republican president has been conspicuously quiet on the ground stop since it began on Friday afternoon, instead issuing statements on social media about completely different topics as frustrated passengers were left stranded at airports and his government scrambled with airlines to restore normal travel.”

“Trump said in a new post on his social media platform that his administration has begun upgrading that system, but that the task should not be done in ‘drips and drabs.'”
