U.S. Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy blamed his predecessor and the Biden administration for air traffic control issues at Newark Liberty International Airport. Duffy stated that these problems were left to them.
Critics, including U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko, have accused Duffy of dodging responsibility and deflecting blame onto others instead of addressing the issues directly. Duffy claimed that the previous administration ignored warning signs about the crisis, which he believes is responsible for the delays and staffing shortages.
Duffy’s comments reflect ongoing tensions as efforts to fix air traffic control problems have faced significant political obstacles and funding challenges.
