US President Donald Trump has said the cause of the Washington DC air collision is still unknown, but attacked diversity policies at the Federal Aviation Administration.
Trump was giving a press conference following the crash between a passenger plane and a military helicopter.

Trump blamed diversity rules under his predecessors, saying he believes people were hired for air traffic control roles who were not qualified – but he offered no evidence for this.
