Autoplay: On | Off President Trump on Tuesday took credit for the safest year on record in commercial aviation.

The president did not detail what steps he took to improve airline safety. His highest-profile initiative — privatizing air-traffic control — stalled in Congress.
Trump’s tweet came in response to a new study that showed 2017 was the safest year ever for air travel.
Airlines recorded zero deaths on commercial passenger jets worldwide, according to a report published by the group Aviation Safety Network.
