President Donald Trump said he’ll meet this weekend with executives in the airline industry who’ve been pressing for promised aid to come more quickly as their companies’ revenue plummets due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We have a great plan for the airlines -- got to keep the airlines going,” Trump said Friday during a White House news conference.
