Air travel disruption in US: Trump rules out cyberattack, points to outdated equipment
According to U.S. President Donald Trump, the nationwide disruption of air travel in the United States was caused not by a cyberattack but by outdated equipment.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy at the White House following a phone call with Trump.
What is Trump's reaction?
"According to him, this does not appear to be a cyberattack, an AI intervention, or anything of the sort," Dusi said on the TV channel.
According to the reporter, Trump noted that no one had claimed responsibility for the malfunction, and that the infrastructure relied upon by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) contains a great deal of outdated and faulty equipment, some of which is about 55 years old. The issue of replacing it has already been discussed with Congress.
Dusi also reported that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio returned to the White House late Friday evening.
What led up to it
It was reported earlier that on November 13, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) suspended flights from all airports in the country due to communication problems in the air traffic control system. The decision was made "due to extraordinary circumstances and for safety reasons."
