American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army helicopter collided in midair near Washington D.C.'s Reagan National Wednesday night, sending the two aircraft into the Potomac River and killing all 67 aboard in the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001.

Mexico's president says she spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump and he has agreed to delay the implementation of tariffs on her country for one month.

No one survived the Wednesday night collision between the commercial airliner and an Army helicopter. More than 40 bodies have been pulled from the river as the massive recovery effort continued Friday, two law enforcement officials told The Associated Press. The officials were not authorized to discuss details of the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
