Market Meltdown: U.S. Stocks Plunge Further, Extending Biggest Selloff in Months | N18G

U.S. stocks extended their steepest decline in months on Tuesday, as the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all recorded losses.

The S&P 500 briefly entered correction territory, marking its largest drop since early August with a nearly 3.5% decline over two sessions.

Trump Blames Diversity Hiring For U.S. Air Disaster; No Clear Reason Yet, Say Officials | N18G

On January 30, President Trump allegedly implied without evidence that federal diversity efforts might have contributed to a deadly crash at Washington’s Reagan National Airport. A regional jet operated by American Airlines collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, killing 67 people in the deadliest U.S. air disaster in over 20 years. The crash investigation is ongoing, with no clear cause determined. Both aircraft were following standard flight paths, and air traffic controllers had warned the helicopter about the approaching jet. Trump criticized the helicopter pilots and suggested diversity initiatives weakened air traffic control capabilities, although no evidence supports this claim. Concerns about crowded airspace and a shortage of air traffic controllers in the region have raised safety issues. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating and expects a preliminary report within 30 days. Trump’s remarks drew backlash from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who called them misleading.
