Trump Says He Spoke With Netanyahu About Flydubai Incident

U.S. President Donald Trump said he spoke at length with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the cockpit attack aboard an Israel-bound Flydubai flight. Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, he recounted an account of an Israeli passenger helping subdue the co-pilot and steady the aircraft after the captain was stabbed. Trump said Netanyahu and others had supplied the account, and stressed that he did not know whether it was accurate. He did not establish the co-pilot's motive or confirm that the co-pilot intended to crash the plane.
