President Donald Trump has claimed the Federal Aviation Administration’s diversity, equity and inclusion policies was to blame for the tragic collision between a US military helicopter and an American Airlines plane.
Mr Trump opened the White House press conference on Thursday, paying respect to those who have died with a moment of silence, and then said: “On behalf of the First Lady, myself and 340 million Americans, our hearts are shattered alongside yours, and our prayers are with you now and in the days to come.”
