Trump Orders Air Traffic Controllers Back to Work Amid Ongoing Flight Cancellations
Travel chaos continues across U.S. airports as over 2,000 flights were canceled amidst a government shutdown. President Trump has demanded that air traffic controllers return to work, threatening to replace absent workers and suggesting a $10,000 bonus for those who stayed on the job. Despite his efforts, officials warn that flight disruptions are expected to persist even after the shutdown ends. Tensions are high as Airlines brace for more cancellations in the coming days, and Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with those who chose not to work during the crisis.
