American Airlines also announced in June a highly-anticipated resumption of service from Charlotte, North Carolina’s Charlotte Douglas International Airport to St Maarten on November 4. “The new airlift from American Airlines and other carriers from across the US is a true testament of our island’s resilience and strength,” said minister of tourism, economic affairs, transportation and telecommunications, Stuart Johnson. “These new and resumed flight routes provide even more ease of access to St Maarten and other destinations within the region, truly showing the importance of our airport as a hub.” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will meet with President Donald Trump Thursday amid mounting questions about his future and what a dramatic Justice Department shake up would mean for special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Trump, speaking in New York, said Monday he spoke with Rosenstein earlier in the day and anticipated their meeting at the White House once he returned from the United Nations General Assembly. "I'm meeting with Rod Rosenstein on Thursday when I get back from all of these meetings," Trump said. "And we'll be meeting at the White House, and we'll be determining what's going on.
