Milan, 9 June (LaPresse/AP) – US President Donald Trump has stated that the pilots of the helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz are ‘fine’. Trump made these remarks to journalists after attending the NBA Finals in New York whilst at John F. Kennedy International Airport. The New York Times was the first to report that a US Army Apache attack helicopter had crashed near the strait in unclear circumstances. The incident occurred after Iran and Israel exchanged gunfire on Monday, jeopardising talks aimed at consolidating a fragile ceasefire in the war in Iran.
