Trump speaks with Boeing CEO after crash raises concerns

Trump on Tuesday spoke with the CEO of Boeing as the company grapples with concerns over the safety of its 737 Max 8 aircraft.

The two men spoke by phone, and Boeing chief Dennis Muilenburg expressed confidence in the safety of the Max fleet of planes, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The conversation took place after Trump tweeted early in the day that planes "are becoming far too complex to fly."
It was not immediately clear who initiated the call.

Trump on Tuesday morning expressed concern that the increasing complexity of airplane technology was creating danger.
