Breaking News: Trump Slams Air Traffic Controllers Amid Government Shutdown Chaos
President Trump has launched a public attack on US air traffic controllers who have called out of work during the ongoing government shutdown. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that he is "NOT HAPPY" with controllers who took time off and warned that anyone who doesn't return to work immediately will face significant consequences.
The controllers, who are working without pay, have been struggling to cope with the financial strain of the shutdown. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been dealing with a shortage of air traffic controllers for months, and the crisis has worsened since the government closed.
The FAA has confirmed that some air traffic controllers have taken on second jobs or called in sick, and they are set to miss their second full paycheck. Trump's comments come as the shutdown enters its 11th day, with no end in sight.
The immediate impact of Trump's statement is unclear, but it is likely to put further pressure on the already-strained air traffic controllers. The situation is developing rapidly, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
