Two U.S. citizens and two permanent U.S. residents were among those killed in the plane crash in Nepal earlier this week, State Department spokesman Ned Price said during a briefing Wednesday.
“We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic Yeti Airlines crash over the weekend, which killed 72 people, including two U.S. citizens and two lawful permanent residents,” Price said. “Our thoughts are with the families of those on board.”
“The United States stands ready to support Nepal in any way we can at this difficult hour,” Price added.
