WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump says he\u2019s still looking at a taxpayer-funded takeover of Spirit Airlines.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking at it. If we could do it, we\u2019ll do it. But only if it\u2019s a good deal,\u201d Trump told reporters on Friday as he prepared to leave the White House for a trip to Florida.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t offer any details about what proposal he was considering but said he\u2019d like to save jobs at the airline, which has filed for bankruptcy twice in two years.<\/p>\n
Trump said his administration gave Spirit \u201ca final proposal\u201d and would make an announcement Friday or Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking at Spirit and if we can help them, we will. But we have to come first,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump says he\u2019s still looking at a taxpayer-funded takeover of Spirit Airlines. \u201cWe\u2019re…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":254913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[110900,25650,409,28,249,251,250,756,757,752,97574,754,97575,755,95632,110899],"class_list":["post-254912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-lauderdale","tag-ap-test","tag-district-of-columbia","tag-donald-trump","tag-florida","tag-fort-lauderdale","tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","tag-fort-lauderdale-news","tag-package-100024-ap-online","tag-package-100373-mc-complete-state-national","tag-product-30039-ap-florida-state-news-no-weather","tag-product-30597-ap-business-news-f-wire","tag-product-30598-ap-national-news-report-a-wire","tag-product-31995-ap-online-general-financial-business-news","tag-product-31998-ap-online-national-news","tag-product-32520-ap-online-other-u-s-government-news","tag-spirit-airlines-trump-bailout-bankruptcy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
