The US president Donald Trump and his administration announced about the suspension of six airlines from China starting June 16.
The Transportation Department said it would suspend passenger flights of four Chinese airlines to and from the United States starting June 16, AP reported.
This comes after the announcement that the Chinese Government was violating the laws between two countries after the latter did not allow the service of United Airlines and Delta Air Lines resume flights this week to the country.
“The Department will continue to engage our Chinese counterparts so both US and Chinese carriers can fully exercise their bilateral rights,” the agency said in a statement.
“In the meantime, we will allow Chinese carriers to operate the same number of scheduled passenger flights as the Chinese government allows ours,” it further said. The department said President Donald Trump might put the order into effect before June 16.
