The White House has a “strong opinion” about what led to a mid-air collision near Reagan National Airport. This was stated by US President Donald Trump at a briefing, reports UNN with reference to CNN.
“We didn't know what led to this disaster, but we have some very strong opinions and ideas, and I think we're probably going to express those opinions now because over the years I've watched these things happen,” Trump said.
