President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the White House briefing room after the deadly midair crash of a military helicopter and American Airlines flight.
“I speak to you this morning in an hour of anguish,” Trump said.

Trump also focused on how poorly the Department of Transportation was run over the last four years. American Airlines plane was carrying 64 people, and three were on board the helicopter.
