Trump Confirms Final Proposal Under Review for Spirit Airlines Bailout

President Trump stated that a 'final proposal' for a bailout of Spirit Airlines is under consideration, with an announcement expected soon.
Spirit Airlines is in bankruptcy proceedings for the second time in less than two years, struggling with over $8 billion in debts and rising operational costs.
The airline's future remains uncertain, with lawmakers divided on the use of taxpayer funds to support it, as it could affect competition and fares in the airline industry.
