WASHINGTON (AA) - President Donald Trump said Wednesday he is issuing an emergency order that will ground the Boeing 737 Max fleet in the U.S. after the plane model was involved in two devastating crashes.
Trump made the announcement after dozens of nations ordered their 737 Max fleets grounded while an investigation into the latest crash continues.
Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashed Sunday outside of Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital, killing all 157 people on board.
The plane model was also involved in an October crash outside of Jakarta, Indonesia. All 189 people on board Lion Air flight JT610 were killed.
Both crashes took place shortly after takeoff.
