In response to a deadly air collision near Washington, President Trump ordered a review of federal aviation hiring and safety decisions, tying the incident to diversity equity and inclusion (DEI) policies. This move emphasizes Trump's ongoing campaign against DEI initiatives, asserting they compromise aviation safety. He directed the Transportation Secretary and FAA administrator to evaluate past hiring decisions and safety protocols from the Biden era. Despite the unclear cause of the crash, Trump’s rhetoric aims to assign blame to the current administration, showcasing a broader pattern of attributing issues to Democratic policies.
Trump's memo alleges that Biden's administration 'egregiously rejected merit-based hiring, requiring all agencies to implement dangerous 'diversity equity and inclusion' tactics...'
The review shall include a systematic assessment of any deterioration in hiring standards and aviation safety standards and protocols during the Biden administration.
