POTUS Admin Set To Bar Chinese Passenger Planes To US

 

Update (1009ET): A statement from the Transportation Department confirms Wednesday morning that it will suspend Chinese passenger flights to the US starting June 16.

 

"Our overriding goal is not the perpetuation of this situation, but rather an improved environment wherein the carriers of both parties will be able to exercise fully their bilateral rights," said the Department of Transportation's order. "Should the CAAC [Civil Aviation Administration of China] adjust its policies to bring about the necessary improved situation for U.S. carriers, the Department is fully prepared to revisit the action it has announced in this order."

 

Reuters' David Shepardson tweeted the "Transportation Department filing confirms" the Reuters report.

As tensions soar between the US and China, Reuters reports that in the next escalation, President Trump's administration is set to bar Chinese passenger airlines from flying to the US starting in mid-June as geopolitical tensions continue to flare up between the two nations. The move by the Trump administration comes in response to China refusing to allow US airlines to resume passenger service in the country. The Trump administration claimed last month that the Chinese government has made it near impossible for US carriers to operate in the country. The new order banning all Chinese passenger airplanes from US flights is expected to take effect on June 16. More details will be announced in the afternoon hours on Wednesday.
