BREAKING: Trump says U.S. grounding Boeing 737 Max planes after Ethiopia crash
Last Updated Wednesday, March 13, 2019 3:02PM EDT
Many nations had already barred the Boeing 737 Max 8 from its airspace, but until Trump's announcement, the Federal Aviation Administration had said that it didn't have any data to show the jets are unsafe. Trump cited "new information" that had come to light in the ongoing investigation into incident. He did not elaborate.
Trump said any airplane currently in the air will go to its destination and then be grounded. He added all airlines and affected pilots had been notified. Trump said the decision to ground the aircraft "didn't have to be made, but we thought it was the right decision."
