‘I can’t apologize’: US transport secretary shifts blame over flight ground stop

VIA THE WASHINGTON POST ON X:

Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has refused to apologise for the failures that led to Friday’s nationwide aircraft ground stop, blaming previous administrations for not investing in the ageing air traffic control system, The Washington Post reported.

Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, Duffy said: “But I can’t apologize for what was passed off to us, and I can’t blame Republicans or Democrats because it’s all of them.”

He urged Congress to fund upgrades.
