There were no commercial passenger jet deaths anywhere in the world lin 2017. It’s a remarkable record, but is it fair for President Donald Trump to claim some of the credit? That’s what he implied in a tweet on Jan. 2, 2018. The facts, however, tell a different story in which global and U.S. commercial aviation deaths have been trending downward for more than a decade due to a variety of factors.
