US President Donald Trump has called on Congress to approve funding for the modernization of the country's air traffic control system, APA reports.
"If Congress approves the desperately needed money for Air Traffic Control, we can get it built quickly and efficiently. It will be the BEST SYSTEM anywhere in the World," Trump stated in a post on X.
He noted that much of the current air traffic control system is 50 years old, calling the situation "RIDICULOUS."
"We have already started the work, but it should be done all at once, not in drips and drabs. Congress must approve. The Biden Administration set it back years!" Trump added.
