President Donald Trump made remarks on Thursday suggesting that a 'diversity push' at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) may have played a role in a recent collision. When asked to clarify his statement, Trump responded that 'it just could have been.' He emphasized that the FAA maintains a high standard, claiming it to be much higher than that of others.
However, Trump did not provide any evidence to support his assertion. Following his comments, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association was contacted for their response to the president's claims. The union's leader stated earlier on Thursday that it is premature to speculate on the cause of the collision.
