US restarts Global Entry program under pressure from industry
WASHINGTON, March 11 (Reuters) - The Trump administration on Wednesday reinstated the Global Entry program, which expedites U.S. customs and immigration clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers entering the United States, a U.S. travel group said.
The Department of Homeland Security on Feb. 22 suspended the program but reversed course on its initial plan to also suspend the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck program. The DHS said the move was necessary to "preserve limited funds and personnel" during a partial government shutdown.
Airlines and travel groups had pushed the Trump administration to restart the program. The suspension of the Global Entry program has led to lines of three hours or more at some airports for travelers entering the United States. Absences by TSA personnel in recent days have also led to long security lines at some U.S. airports.
