US President Trump's helicopter was involved in a flight safety incident in Washington on the 4th local time. The “New York Times” and other US media further revealed on the 5th, citing sources familiar with the matter, that the “Marine Corps 1” helicopter that Trump was riding was less than 0.8 miles above Washington at the time and the closest horizontal distance of a passenger plane. The cause of the accident was chaotic communication between the helicopter crew and the air traffic controller at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport tower, which caused the air traffic controller to “clean up” the nearby airspace in a timely manner. In response, White House spokesman Kush Desai said, “Although the president was not in danger during yesterday's brief loss period, the White House will continue to cooperate with the relevant military, FAA, and other security personnel to ensure the continued safety of the president.”
