Trump Backs Boeing Amid 737 Max Criticism

US President Donald Trump has expressed his support for Boeing's 737 Max aircraft following an incident involving Flydubai, a Dubai-based airline. In a statement, Trump praised the safety record of the plane, saying it is 'one of the best in the world'.

Flydubai Flight FZ981 crashed on March 19, 2016, killing all 62 people on board. The incident led to a global grounding of the 737 Max, which was later cleared for safe return to service.

Boeing has faced criticism over its handling of the crisis, with some questioning the safety of the aircraft and others criticizing the company's communication with regulators and customers. However, Trump's comments appear to be at odds with these concerns, as he emphasized the plane's safety record and praised Boeing for its efforts to improve it.
