Rabat, March 15 -- Following the Ethiopian Airlines ET 302 plane crash on Sunday, Boeing recommended airlines ground all 737 Max 8s and Max 9s on Wednesday, March 13.

US President Donald Trump announced that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was grounding the planes in the US in a press conference.

The announcement comes days after airlines worldwide decided to suspend their use of the Boeing 737 Max 8. Boeing's recommendation will likely see all 370 planes of the model temporarily grounded.

Boeing officials made the decision after the FAA found similarities in the crash between Sunday's air disaster and a crash with the same plane on a Lion Air flight in Indonesia in October.
