President Donald Trump on Monday called the fatal collision at LaGuardia Airport “terrible.”
“They made a mistake,” Trump told reporters, without elaborating, at Palm Beach International Airport before departing for an event in Memphis, Tennessee.
“It's a dangerous business," he said. "That's terrible.”
After his brief remarks, Trump boarded Air Force One.
