U.S. Blocks Russia’s Bid for Seat on UN Aviation Council Amid Safety Concerns

                                            US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy

The United States has firmly opposed Russia’s attempt to secure a seat on the governing council of the United Nations’ International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized Moscow’s record, accusing Russia of undermining global aviation safety through actions such as GPS spoofing and even the downing of aircraft.
