Trump: All Air Traffic Controllers Must Return to Work Immediately

November 11 (China News Service) - According to comprehensive foreign media reports, on November 10 local time, U.S. President Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social," stating that all air traffic controllers must return to work immediately, and anyone who does not return will face severe "penalties."

It was reported that Trump wrote, "All air traffic controllers must come back to work now, immediately!" Trump also stated that for those air traffic controllers who did not take leave during the federal government "shutdown," he would recommend a $10,000 bonus for each person.

According to a previous Reuters report, affected by the federal government "shutdown," many air traffic controllers have been working without pay continuously, triggering a large-scale "retirement wave." Staff shortages have exacerbated flight flow restrictions, leading to numerous flight cancellations or delays across the United States. Data from the U.S. aviation industry association shows that since the federal government "shutdown," travel plans for over 4 million passengers have been affected.
