U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy urged European nations not to unilaterally restrict transatlantic travel, warning the United States is willing to take action to enforce agreements.

"We're seeing more airports get in the game of trying to restrict air traffic, which is contrary to the agreements that we have with them," Duffy told Reuters from Montreal where he is attending an international aviation meeting, citing concerns about Amsterdam, Lisbon and Dublin.

Huh? When did this come up?

[Organic Panic]

Hmm. Islamic infested euro s hole cities... I wonder what they have in common?

[Georgia Girl 2]

First I’ve heard of it.

[shaggy eel]

,,, this is news. I know Scandinavian destinations have had trouble with Russian interference in radio and GPS systems, but not western Europe. Maybe they’re deeply hurt about Mr Trump’s recent UN assessment :)

Like Bob Dylan, Prince and Charles Schultz and Pete Hegseth,
Sean Duffy is from MN. (Well Superior WI) Not all of Minnesota is an embarassment, just the Twin Cities of Mpls and St. Paul.

“noise reduction”

“passenger caps”

As long as the Euroweenies do it in a non-discriminatory manner, it’s their countries and their rules as far as I’m concerned.

>> Not all of Minnesota is an embarassment, just the Twin Cities of Mpls and St. Paul.

Not even all of Minneapolis — I have a good friend there who is yugely conservative. Hoping MN youth’s insanity gag reflex is activated soon and the tide turns against Walz and his nasty educatrix of a wife. Your legislature is close to breaking the DemonRat stranglehold on the state, right?

[Nervous Tick]

>> As long as the Euroweenies do it in a non-discriminatory manner

Since when have any variety of the Leftyweenies operated in a non-discriminatory manner?

[Nervous Tick]

and...

>> it’s their countries and their rules as far as I’m concerned

Not when they have signed on to agreements (e.g. treaties) that set down mutually agreed upon rules...

[VanShuyten]

“Not all of Minnesota is an embarassment...”

The Iron Range has been solidly Workers of the World Wobblies for about a century. I don’t think they put up with tranny gun-grabbers, though.

[SuperLuminal]

Fine!
Then, for every “one” of ours they restrict, we restrict “ten” of theirs...

In fact, restrict all of theirs...

[No name given]

Agreed.
