WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would work with Congress to ensure the speedy adoption of a new computerized air traffic control system after last week’s collision of an Army helicopter and a commercial jet that killed 67 people.
Trump said other countries used far more advanced systems than the United States, and his private jet used a control system produced in another country, but said he wouldn’t name it. The deadly collision would be “used for good” to modernize U.S. air traffic control systems, he said.
