President Donald Trump sought to squelch talk about any potential bailout for the airline industry, which has seen flagging ticket sales amid growing fears about the spread of the coronavirus
President Donald Trump sought to squelch talk Wednesday about any potential bailout for the airline industry, which has seen flagging ticket sales amid growing fears about the spread of the coronavirus.
The president's remarks came as business leaders Wednesday also sought to downplay the need for any financial assistance for the airline industry. Instead, they called on Americans to stop canceling conferences and plane tickets, projecting confidence in the travel and airline industry's ability to rebound despite depressed sales.
"If you don’t feel well, stay home," he added. "Otherwise, let’s go to work, because we have to keep people fed, keep people mobile, keep people educated."
