Where is Trump? He hasn’t commented on FAA incident
Next story: Duffy singles out L3Harris, but FAA outage cause remains unresolved
Donald Trump continued posting on Truth Social after the nationwide flight grounding, but had not publicly addressed the disruption by the time of Kaitlan Collins' CNN report on Saturday.
Collins reviews posts about Gavin Newsom and the New Orleans riverboat crash, contrasting those messages with the absence of a statement about the FAA ground stop that stranded thousands of travelers. Her report shifts the focus from the technical investigation to the president's public response.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he had spoken with Trump by phone, according to CNN. That contact is distinct from a public statement: Collins' report concerns what the president had said to Americans, not whether he had been in touch with officials. She also shows Duffy briefing reporters and seeking $50 billion more from Congress to repair the aviation system.
"It's pretty rare not to hear from the president on an issue as major as this one..." Collins says. She closes by noting that the White House had called a travel photo lid for Saturday, indicating no further travel movements were expected for the accompanying press.
California’s governor since 2019 and a member of the Democratic Party. He previously served as the state’s lieutenant governor and as mayor of San Francisco.
