The wing of former US president Donald Trump’s plane, a Boeing 757, hit a corporate jet while taxiing at West Palm Beach International Airport in Florida at the weekend.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement on Tuesday that a privately owned 757 contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet on Sunday. The FAA statement did not identify the plane as belonging to Trump.

The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft, the agency said, adding that it is investigating.
