I believe the FAA has regulatory responsibility over the manufacturing of planes built in the US including the appropriate testing and certification before delivery of an order to any company regardless of country.
This is correct.

I also believe US Flagged carriers are or were required to have the redundant systems that the countries where these crashed did not.

You should do the same.

I have, and if you loons are pointing to these articles as a mean to blame Trump for the shift in policy at the FAA, then you are barking up the wrong tree.

When Trump says cut 2 regulations for every one that gets approved you change policies at every government agency and imo that's quite possibly the stupidest thing any president has ever decreed. The investigators and regulators will figure out what's up with the plane in question. From what I'm reading, if there is a problem it's more likely a too cozy relationship between the FAA and Boeing which may or may not (most likely) have anything to do with Trump's policies.

The first flight of this plane was in early 2016, I would guess most of the testing was under the Obama administration. The head of the FAA has been in place since 2011 and ended in 2018, which means that Obama's person was in charge during the most crucial time of testing.

OP-- The same nut-job that said we should have played a football game in CAT 4 hurricane. This guy is missing the twine around a bale of hay. He makes KKKuntry look like a genius.
