U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the January 30 crash of a Bombardier aircraft was caused by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, as well as policies implemented by the Democratic Party during the administrations of Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Adyrna reports, citing DW.

“This was a dark and painful night in our nation’s capital and in our country’s history—a horrific tragedy. We mourn every precious soul that was suddenly taken from us,” Trump said.

According to the Republican president, air traffic controller standards became too lax as a result of regulations introduced by Democrats. He pointed out that the investigation into the tragedy has only just begun.

The U.S. leader also blamed the pilots of the Black Hawk military helicopter, which collided with the airliner.

“For certain jobs, we need highly skilled professionals,” Trump stated.

He also claimed that during Obama’s presidency, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was given a directive to reduce the number of white employees.

Following the crash, Trump appointed Chris Rochelaud as the interim head of the FAA. The agency’s previous administrator, Michael Whitaker, stepped down on January 20, the day of Trump’s inauguration.

Additionally, Trump criticized former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, calling him a “disaster.”

On January 30, an American Bombardier CRJ700 passenger plane collided with a Black Hawk helicopter while approaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, crashing into the Potomac River.

All 60 passengers and four crew members aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, as well as three military personnel on the training flight of the helicopter, perished in the accident.

The plane had departed from Wichita, Kansas, and was heading to Washington, where the U.S. Figure Skating Championships had taken place from January 20-26.

Among the passengers were several young figure skaters, as well as Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, former Soviet and Russian pair skating world champions from 1994, who had worked as coaches in the U.S. for many years.
