The US Department of Transportation said the country's authorities rejected a request by Chinese airlines to increase the number of weekly flights between the two countries.
The US Department of Transportation said on Monday that the United States and China will allow four weekly flights between the two countries, easing the standoff over travel restrictions in the midst of the emerging Corona Virus pandemic.
The Department of Transportation said in a statement, it will continue to press for the restoration of all passenger flights between the United States and China.
On May 22, the Trump administration accused the Chinese government of preventing US airlines from resuming flights to China, and asked 4 Chinese companies to submit their flight schedule to the United States authorities.
The relationship between the United States and China is growing tense against the backdrop of several issues, chief among them trade disputes, the Hong Kong issue, the situation in the South China Sea, and the emerging Corona Virus pandemic.
