Donald Trump's first Truth Social posts since the FAA grounded flights at US airports do not mention the ground stop, Mediaite reports.
The first post promoted bipartisan film industry legislation, according to the outlet. It quotes Trump as writing: "It was MADE IN AMERICA, and must STAY IN AMERICA".
A second post followed minutes later about the crash of two ships in Louisiana, Mediaite reports. It quotes Trump as writing:
"Thank you to the United States Coast Guard for doing such an incredible job of rescue, and other work, having to do with the crash of the two ships in Louisiana"
In an item timed at 6.17pm ET, Mediaite also says MS NOW's Eugene Daniels, stranded at LAX, reported that fellow passengers were "shocked" at Trump's silence on the ground stop.
Mullin said earlier that Trump had been briefed and had spoken to Duffy. Mediaite says the cause and duration of the ground stop were still unclear.
The posts are quoted as reported by Mediaite and have not been independently checked.
