WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Thursday that air traffic control systems have not been built properly, speaking in the wake of a deadly midair collision between an American Airlines regional passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington D.C.

"They spent a lot of money renovating a system, spending much more money than they would have spent if they bought a new system for air traffic controllers, meaning the computerized systems. There are certain companies that do a very good job. They didn't use those companies," Trump said.
