washington - President Trump claims the Washington plane crash, which claimed 67 lives, was partly due to diversity and inclusion policies under his predecessor.

Trump's Controversial Statements

President Trump blamed the recent plane crash in Washington on diversity and inclusion policies during a press conference at the White House. He accused Joe Biden of prioritizing diversity over safety, affecting the hiring of air traffic controllers. Trump also criticized former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for the diversity policies at the FAA. Despite lacking concrete evidence, Trump defended his claims as based on 'common sense'.

Following Trump's remarks, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance raised concerns about the progressive diversity and inclusion agenda in the US government in light of the tragic incident.

The plane crash occurred near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, involving an American Airlines passenger plane and a military Black Hawk helicopter. Audio recordings revealed communication between the air traffic control tower and the helicopter crew moments before the collision.

Diversity and inclusion have been contentious issues in American politics, with the Biden administration emphasizing these values. In contrast, Trump has criticized such policies, advocating for merit-based hiring practices over considerations of race and gender.

Trump's statements faced criticism on CNN, with concerns raised about the timing and insensitivity of his remarks given the ongoing recovery efforts at the crash site. Analysts pointed out changes in FAA recruitment policies under the Obama administration, which aimed to address the shortage of air traffic controllers in the US by diversifying the applicant pool.
