Trump fires hundreds of FAA workers after fatal D C crash
The Trump administration began firing several hundred FAA employees including radar and navigation staff and at least one air traffic controller weeks after a January midair collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Firing emails went out Friday night with fewer than 400 total terminations reported, none of which targeted air traffic controllers or other critical safety personnel, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. The affected staff included workers in the Hawaii long-range radar program and other National Airspace System Defense Program offices, raising concerns about national security and aviation safety. Union officials and FAA critics warned the move risks knowledge loss and airspace reliability as controllers face a staffing shortfall and ongoing investigations into the January crash.

Google's Cris Turner cited policy and offered in person talks, while Mexico argues sovereignty as the Gulf spans both nations and Cuba. High level talks with the United States on trade and security are planned this week to maintain long term collaboration.
