Trump asked American air traffic personnel to return to work immediately

According to Isna, Trump wrote in his post on the “Truth Social” social network: “All air traffic controllers should go back to work right now!” “Anyone who doesn’t, their salary will be significantly reduced.”

According to Anatolia News Agency, due to the government shutdown, the employees of the Federal Aviation Administration are currently not receiving any salary; However, after the closure, the arrears will be paid to them.

Blaming Democrats for the shutdown, Trump went on to promise a $10,000 bonus to comptrollers who stayed on the job during the crisis, calling them “great patriots” who “stood up to the Democrats’ fake show to shut down the government.”

Blaming the employees who have taken leave, he said: “I am unhappy with you. “You did not come to our country’s aid against the fake attack of the Democrats.”

Trump warned that a “negative grade” would be placed on their employment records and told those who were planning to leave their jobs: “Please don’t delay and leave now — without any pay or severance benefits.” You will quickly be replaced by true patriots!”

This order was issued after widespread disruption of flights on Sunday; in which more than 3400 flights were canceled and more than 26800 flights were delayed.

The US Secretary of Transportation warned that the situation “will only get worse” and may extend to the end of the month.

The Federal Aviation Administration has issued an emergency order to reduce the volume of flights to ease the pressure on remaining controllers.

Meanwhile, the US Senate voted 40-60 to advance a government funding plan — a move that could be a major step toward ending the five-week government shutdown.

However, Trump and Republican leaders still refuse to negotiate a deal.
