(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday for an immediate aviation safety assessment, ordering an elevation of “competence” over “DEI.”
Additionally, he signed an order to create a formal commission to appoint the deputy administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
The executive orders came less than 24 hours after the deadly in-air collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a Black Hawk military helicopter.
All 67 people aboard the plane and helicopter are presumed dead.
This is a developing story. NewsNation will update the story with more information as it becomes available.
