On Friday, US authorities grounded all aircraft for several hours because of an outage linked to a badly handled technical upgrade, according to Punch. The halt disrupted domestic flights as well as international flights across the country. On Sunday, Donald Trump reacted for the first time, attributing responsibility for the interruption to the administration of his predecessor, Joe Biden.
On Truth Social, he is blunt: Joe Biden’s air traffic management is a “disaster”. He claims that “everything they touched went wrong” and considers that large sums were committed without discernment, compounding the weaknesses of an old system.
