Trump’s team vocalizes differing views on plans for Spirit Airlines, WSJ says

Members of President Donald Trump’s team have vocalized differing views about the administration’s plan to save Spirit Airlines, Brian Schwartz of The Wall Street Journal reports, citing people familiar with the matter. Both Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy gave their perspectives on the deal to the president. Lutnick argued this would be seen as a political win by coming to Spirit’s rescue months before the midterm elections, people familiar with the matter said. Meanwhile, Duffy argued an agreement with Spirit could have negative political consequences, voicing skepticism about what the government is going to get out of having a stake in the business.
