The head of the White House Donald Trump accused the administration of former US presidents Barack Obama and Joe Bayden of hiring unskilled personnel into the Federal Civil Aviation Department (FAA). Such a statement by Trump followed after a plane crash that occurred at Ronald Reagan Airport near Washington, as a result of which 67 people were killed.
“This shocking incident has become a consequence of dubious and probably illegal decisions taken by the Obama and Biden administrations, which have forced the merits and competence of the Federal Civil Aviation Administration,” Trump said in a statement.
According to the head of the White House, the Obama administration when hiring staff in FAA did not seek to attract talents.
Trump noted that during his first presidential term, he increased standards to achieve “the highest security standards.”
Meanwhile, the Biden administration, which replaced, “flashingly rejected the hiring system based on merits,” and introduced the “tactics of diversity, equality and inclusiveness”, hiring “persons with limited intellectual abilities,” he said.
The US President emphasized that he instructed the new Minister of Transport by Son Duffy and the new acting administrator of the FAA Christopher Runned to revise all the hiring decisions adopted over the past four years in relation to security protocols, as well as take the necessary measures to ensure flight safety.
On the eve of Trump, he announced the appointment of the acting administrator of the Federal Civil Aviation Administration Chris Rochel, whom he called the “22-year-old veteran of the department.”
