Travelers wait at LaGuardia Airport in New York City after hundreds of flights were grounded or delayed at New York-area airports as more air traffic controllers called in sick on Friday, in one of the most tangible signs yet of disruption from a 35-day partial shutdown of the US government. Later in the day, US President Donald Trump announced a deal that would reopen the government for three weeks.
